How are you going to populate AD with this information to associate a machine 
(computer object) with its user?  There is no association or recording, by 
default, in AD, unless you have a login script updating the computer object or 
a table somewhere.

Or if you have something like LANDesk or SMS that manages the PCs and records 
the interactive logins for your workstations, and query against that.

Subject: [Ntop] create additional resolve or "WhoIS" function?

Hello,

In our environment our machine names (DNS, WINS, etc.) are asset ID numbers - 
not common user names.  When trying to figure out a user name for a specific 
IP, it's kinda a hassle.

I'm wondering if someone would be interested in building me an additional 
resolve or whois function so I can resolve these names against an LDAP / AD 
table.  I THINK I can get the visibility required to do so via LDAP.

Ideally the resolve / lookup process will do this new function if an IP address 
falls within a defined range (our internal RFC-1918 IP's for example).  If 
that's too much hassle, if I had an additional button on the html page(s) to 
"getUnameFromLDAP"  - that would be cool too.

If $$ would be required to make this happen quickly - or at all - let me know 
and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks!

Gary
