on Unix nbtscan/nbtstat will do something like this. It dumps the machine
name, username, domain/workgroup and MAC address. I used to run it daily
and archive the output to see where users normaly logon. The one I used
was written in C. I had to add an alarm to it so it would timeout for
host not responding.
