Last week I sneeked through and anouncment of an OpenSource
"authentication server", which seems to do just this. However, I'm not
very helpful, because I cannot remember exactly what was it's name

coming back to the original question:

At UNI we will be using IRM to register MAC/IP/hostnames and use a
script (I think it is some lines of perl) to create the dhcpd.conf and
tinydns-data files for DHCP and DNS. Of course, iptables rules should
be easy to create (as well as bind zone-files) too.
This way, we just register a new computers MAC, it's user and hostname
an asign it an IP number. Rest will be pushed into the systems
configuration.
However this does not tie a user to his/her computer...
Best Regards,

P.S.: If you ask for the scripts, you'll have to contribute! They are
just not there by now...
