Since twenty people asked off-list, I'll just tell you that the
software we're currently using for logging/tracking of MAC/IPs is
Cacti (cacti.org I believe) and the add-on called "MacTrack".

The desktop group here actually uses their AV software to detect rogue
computers - scanning machines to verify the AV software is installed
and has the latest definitions (obviously, if it doesn't, it's not one
of theirs). This isn't free.
