Catching people with more than one username

[mharmon]

I know this can be done by IP -- but there is one hack that i had installed on my old UBB system that I miss.

It would catch people by logging if someone had logged out and then logged back in with a different username. It allowed me to catch people red-handed instead of messing with IP addresses.

Does anything like this exist -- or could someone write something?

Could probably do it by adding a seperate cookie.

there is one calle dupeip, that you put into your amdin folder, that qwill show all dupelicate ips and passwords, makes it easy to tell than

hum...interesting feature...

but the detail would be that if someone login with different users, it may be because the computer is in a schoolclass, or a public computer, or a family with different users, or one of the portable in the US-army, or a shared computer anywhere...

there is a lot of reasons why there is multiple-logins from one computer...

the only thing that an admin can filter is when 2 or 3 users always debates and flames each other and are from the same IP... (just for spamming)... this would be easy to filter as the admin/moderator see the ips of the users in the forums...

I used to run a ubbthreads board too and the way this worked was by tracking cookies. I would love to see this ported for VB..... I can send someone the code if you think you can make it work for vb..... pm me.....
