Suggestion: admin CP being able to track users login IPs?

[lowtaxbaby]

We've got more than a few trolls who have lurker accounts on our forums and never post because they've caused so much trouble in the past that they know their IP will alert us and we'll ban their lurker account. I've been looking for a hack that logs users IPs when they login to their account / vB, but I haven't been able to find anything so far.

Is there any way this admin feature might be included in vB 3.0? It would really be helpful to know the IP of people when they login, so if they don't post we can still determine if they are trolls or not.

Thanks.

If you were desperate, you could view Apache's access.log file (which will be huge) for the offender's IP then ban him via a .htaccess file.

Thanks, but that's what I'm hoping to avoid by suggesting this :)

vBulletin already tracks their IP address when they register and when they post.

To track IP addresses for everytime they log in, would create an exponential amount of data because technically, they log in on every page view when they have a cookie on their system.
