Well, Does this machine have a webserver? If so, maybe a perl cgi could be written that would ask for a password/usrname combo, if authenticated, save that IP to the username, Then login as usual
If you wanted to make it more secure, you could always have the login be a https:// login cgi, so at least the username/password isn't plain text. Or write a small perl program that will negotiate on port a passcode of some kind, and if ok, save the IP to the username, and write a UV Phantom to listen on that port, and do the negotiating, keeping the server side entirely in UV. Unless your logging directly to the machine on the same network, using MAC addressing won't be helpful, as it will only show the last piece of equipment (ie. the companies firewall/router, or the ISP's router, not your MAC).
