Probably not the most reliable way (actually, I know it's not 100%
reliable), but the way I use for quick and dirty, informal usage logging
is this:
$ipaddress = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
$nbtstat = "nbtstat -A ". $ipaddress;
exec ($nbtstat,$result);
foreach ($result as $row) {
if (strpos($row,"<03>")) $username = strtok($row," ");
}
This only works if you're on the same network and the users are logging
into their box.
It seems to fail when someone is logged into multiple machines at once,
you end up getting the computer name or something. Probably does this
under other circumstances as well. But there's some little 80% reliable
way of doing it.
If you find a better way, by all means let me know!
