[NTLUG:Discuss] Where's the best place to find answers about Linux?

[Bob Byron]

Actually, I am not as concerned about having new users on the system as
I am making sure they log in through DHCP and that I know which DHCP
account they used to create this new IP.  Basically, for each DHCP account,
I want to know how many unique machines (MAC addresses) there are
associated with it.
