Don't know of any software that specifically handles online/offline display, but here's how to code it. 1) When the user logs in, create a session variable unique to them - there username usually. 2) Every time they view a page, including login, store their username, I.P. address and access date/time in a database. 3) To see who is online, search for all users with an access time within the last 'n' minutes. Set this time to be the same as your session expiry time. If the user hasn't access the site within 'n' minutes, they will already have been logged off, otherwise they are logged on. 4) When a user manually logs off, delete the access date/time from the database to make sure it isn't counted in.
