1) if the login shell is ksh, then in the profile you can use something like this:
[ "$(ps -p$PPID -o comm=)" = telnetd ] &&
echo "$(date '+%Y%m%d %T') $LOGNAME" >>/path/to/logfile
2) man idleout

Can I use the idleout with specific users ?

Yes. You can edit the /usr/bin/idleout script (make a backup !) and take a look at the killer() function.
In the awk script the user is in $1.

Example for Bourne shell (sh, rsh):
[ "`ps -p$PPID -o comm=`" = telnetd ] &&
echo "`date '+%Y%m%d %T'` `logname`" >>/path/to/logfile
