Hi, I am trying to document which managed switch port (HP 4000m), a users PC = is plugged into. I had thought to use a login script to dump some info = into a MySQL DB, but I am now leaning on scanning the switch, and build up the = data backwards from there. The info will all end up on a PHP searchable web page. I should then be able to track admin logins (does anyone know the passwd?), have some users given their username and passwd to someone = else to use? Etc. I have found the SNMP OID's of the IP and MAC addresses and the switch = port number the computer is plugged into. From a DNS lookup, I can find the = PC name, but how do I find out the current logged in user name on the PC, remotely from a FreeBSD server? The GFI LanGuard network scanner is a very informative tool: http://www.gfi.com/lannetscan/ so having something similar to this on a FreeBSD server would be great. The utility must of course be scriptable. Cheers, Paul
