I don't know if the client machines are Linux, but if they arem you can set the MAC address of each machine. Or just go around and map the MAC address to each machine/person once, since that won't change. At some point you need to associate a static unique network identifier to a person, and that's going to take a little legwork, but just once. Here's a cool idea: Set up a web page on an intranet server with a page that prompts for the username. Submit to a CGI script which will record the username and MAC address. Or do the same thing with a mail server: send out an email for them to reply to, and use the From: address for the name. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer http://thekramers.net DK KD There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.
