I don't know about login/logout times, but Demarc will capture all chatting hitting the wire of MSN. I haven't tried Yahoo Messenger to see if it picks that up. But keep in mind, you will want to download the latest Snort rules to pick up on these chat applications activities. Of course, you can always write your own rules too.
Demarc can be found at http://www.demarc.com Snort can be found at http://www.snort.org (where you can download the latest rules) Good luck!
