I use Samba computer names for this. If user changes computer name, then 
he will not be able login to domain, and will not able do his job. I 
dont restrict very much access to Internet, just do accounting.
It is easy  modify my setup to use user names instead of computer names. 
Accounting is done with trafd and 2 or 3 shell scripts. Maybe you need 
something like this?
If you wish, I can post my scripts.
