RADIUS accounting will log all kinds of stuff like login/logout times, connect time, packets in/out, bytes in/out, etc. I wrote some perl to to log analysis for an Ascend Max running Ascend's version of RADIUS. You can pick it up from my work at http://www.it.hq.nasa.gov/~cshenton/radacct (I've had some people say IE couldn't or wouldn't download it without mangling it; maybe hitting the mouse button that forces download rather than trying to render or start a helper app would do the trick). It's somewhat specific to our environment at NASA HQ, but a predecessor I wrote earlier parses RADIUS longs from a Livingston and runs on FreeBSD quite happily.
