I think this module could offer some much needed power with some added features.

Is it possible to add two options?

1) Log IP address on Signup (This would be very useful for sites that are required to the log IP address for meeting the Anti-Spam policies of there hosts. In fact, if you can prove to some hosts that you are logging IP addresses upon account creation (while also asking them to configure their email contact preferences profile fields) they will lift their email sending limit.) This will allow many drupalers to run their sites on a shared hosting platform longer (verses the current option - where most hosts will simply tell you that to lift your sending limits you will need to move to a dedicated server.)

2) Allow an option to Disable IP address auto login.

Clearly the additions of these options make this module more of an IP Address activity tool - also giving it more options for more users.

What do you think? Easy? Difficult? Not interested?

I will help in anyway I can - testing, documentation etc... (my coding skills are very rusty so unfortunately I would not be too much help there without explicit guidance.)

Because many users may be accessing the site from a single IP, disabling IP Login can only be done by admins by removing the IP address from their hidden profile field.

Logging IP address on signup is outside the scope of this module.

actually drupal does log ip address / hostname in the user session, found in the session table.

I'm adding a checkbox to the admin form to enable and disable IP login there.

cheers,
