The only way to do this is by storing their session id in the database along with their user name, as well as a timestamp of the last time they viewed a page. Use a config file (included on every page) to update the database. Then write a little script that pulls this data out for the administrator. You could take it further and track the users movement through the site and duration of visit.

I'm sure this isn't the proper way but...

Assuming you are using a unix like system, with PHP4 sessions and have access to the /tmp directory where the session files are kept you could just use exec to run a grep command over the session files and extract the required information.

hint, they all start with sess_

Hope this helps.
