Benoit ,
Thanks for your thoughts on that. LW uses the following method.
whitelist mac chain for mac only logins.
mac list send every 15 mins to central server using
cat /var/state/dhcp/dhcpd.leases | grep -v '^#' | grep -e 'lease' -e
'hardware' -e 'client-hostname' | tr '\n{}' ' \n' | tr -s ' ' | sed -e
's/lease //g' -e 's/ hardware ethernet /+/g' -e 's/; client-hostname "/+/g'
| tr -d ' "'
