This is not needed.  The last log (wtmp) will include info about the
user sessions.  Run 'last' to get the list.

I recommend using user group membership instead to control this.  If
you use a netgroup, you can check with innetgr if a user is member of
the group.  If you use a file group, you can check using 'getent group
foo' to get the list of group members.

This way the access control will work across several thin clients
servers.
