[ale] Win9x users and networking.

The scenario:

A local network consists of a Win9x machine using a Linux box as the default
gateway. The Linux box has MASQ working properly. A users sits down at the
Win9x machine, logs in and starts using the Internet, no problems. Is there
info passed from the Win9x machine to the Linux machine that reveals the
Win-users login ID? Maybe hidden somewhere in the IP packet header? If not,
is there a program that can query the Win machine for the $LOGNAME? This
feature would be great for accounting.  

Thanks,

Randy
