--sorry if this seems way out of sorts ... --i've only worked with DHCP a few times a few years back, but ... on the DHCP server when you list a range of IP addresses that are available, doesn't it keep a log of what ip <=> mac addresses that asking for it?
--i think it's the same with Unix ... (bootp / DHCP / tftp images) ... there should be a log file for requests ... --*shrug* ... just my .02 cents ... -X -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Shurts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 16, 2001 12:10 PM To: Daniel Falkenberg; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: IP accounting If it is DHCP, you are going to want to collect more than just the IP from the user. The IP is not uniquely identifiable in a DHCP situation. You may want to collect such info as the MAC address as well. Are you storing this in a flat file, or some kind of db? -_-Aaron -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Falkenberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 6:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: IP accounting Hello List, Just about to begin a new project where I am going to start to create some IP accounting software using Perl or coarse. Before I being I woudn't mind getting some information from any one that has done any of this before. Firstly the network I will be monitoring will consist of users using DHCP on WinNT/98/95/2000 machies. Any ideas on where I would start with this?
