If it contains the single word `tt(all)', then all login/logout events
are reported. If it contains the single word `tt(notme)', then all
events are reported as with `tt(all)' except tt($USERNAME).

an `tt(@)' followed by a remote hostname,

if a login/logout event matches all of them,
it is reported.
