Tracking internal users with snort

Hi, I've scanned the archives and read the User Manual, but couldn't find an answer to the challenge I have at present. I have been asked if it is possible to track certain individuals within the organisation I'm currently contracting to. These users have the IP number assigned via DHCP, and S2.2.3 of the User Manual states that name resolution is not supported, so it looks like IP numbers are what I'll have to use. Some scenarios we've thought of are: 1) the user may have their IP address changed via DHCP, e.g. they go on holidays; 2) they purposefully use another PC to avoid detection A solution I've thought of, is using statically assigned MAC -> IP address via DHCP. This solution obviously falls outside the scope of snort, but can snort be configured to track packet payloads with user credentials or hostnames? Has anybody tackled something like this before? Thanks, Peter. ===== http://greetings.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
