I believe that the Cisco sanctioned method is to call the  
"getuserinfo" method in the API.  This returns a ton of data, which  
is kind of a pain to parse, particularly every 5 minutes or so.  I  
have personally sent in a feature enhancement request to make this  
info available via SNMP, but I haven't received an answer yet.
