Hi,
for the logoff:
Take a look into the masthead JSP file. The JS function that get's called when the user clicks on the logoff link is openLogoffMsg():
function openLogoffMsg(){
         if(EPCM.getGlobalDirty())         {
               // unsaved data on the page, display modified dialog
             var val = window.showModalDialog('/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.logoffConfirmMsg?UnsavedData=true', '', 'dialogHeight: 170px; dialogWidth: 350px; edge: Raised; center: Yes; help: No; resizable: No; status: No');
          else //no unsaved data          {
               // data saved, nothing get lost on the page, display normal dialog
           var val = window.showModalDialog('/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.logoffConfirmMsg', '', 'dialogHeight: 170px; dialogWidth: 350px; edge: Raised; center: Yes; help: No; resizable: No; status: No');
           if (val == 'logoff')
              logoff();
As you can see, the user has 2 possibilities to get the popup:
1. He has unsaved data
2. The "normal" logoff confirmation dialog
As the code is straight forward and without IFs or checks, you need to code your own masthead javascript that simply skips the window.showModalDialog part and goes straigt to the logoff() function:
function logoff() {
    EPCM.raiseEvent("urn:com.sapportals.portal:user", "logoff", "");
For the auto-logon: does the user has still another Explorer open? Or even tab?
