There's no code in sshd to specifically support the audit interface on 
AIX, so I suspect that the records you see are generated by the 
"loginsuccess" call which sshd makes.

The API docs[1] make no mention of a corresponding logout function 
(although now I see that the audit redbook[2] makes mention of one but I 
can't find any information about it).

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
