User tracking/limiting

[travs69]

I am looking at using Apache2 with a postgresql DB to keep user/password information (I need the DB for other things anyway).

I am looking for a way to tell if I have multiple users logging in from the same IP during certain time frames.

I don't know if there is a log analyzer that will do this or a module for tracking logins, IPs, and access times.

I am worried that a user will create multiple accounts and I am hoping I will be able to tell this by their IP. I know that because of proxy servers that doing it by IP isn't the best situation but I'm not sure what else to do.

I am open to all suggestions

Thanks!!

If you're using Basic authentication, the IP address and user ID are both written to the access_log. If you have a login form, then you'd probably just log the IP address yourself, perhaps to the same database.
