I admin a gaming related board that has several private sections for members. We're using UBB 6.3.0.1. We suspect a member of sharing their login name and password with a non-member who merely lurks with it, but we can't prove it or stop it.

What I'm looking for is a way to trace the IP used by that user to even read the board. Right now, I can only trace his posting IP which doesn't help much. I found the IP logging mod on the other board and we're installing it later today, but my understanding is that it only captures IP's when a user logs in or posts. I'm sure that both the authorized user and the lurker have cookies set and won't log in fresh for a long time.

So, I went to the control panel, lo and behold there is no way to force a login cookie timeout that I could find. I'm perfectly willing to make every user login fresh every 3 days or so just so I can capture their IP's, is there a mod that allows Admins to set this option? Hell, even a way to manually expire all login cookies would work for me and I'd just do it once, catch this guy and then ban him.

Any other suggestions are welcome as well, thanks in advance for your help.
