Thats where accounting comes in with radacct.. you get an entry in post auth as the RADIUS server knows they are logging on as an authentication request has just been processed by it. However no authentication is required when someone disconnects so alas it cannot know they have logged off. Accounting will send a packet at logon and logoff and even (if configured) every x minutes to update the accounting information.
