[support] Tracking user IP addresses for duplicate accounts

Hi again!
Another challenge I have is on one site, users keep signing up multiple times
with more than one account. That's a problem, as multiple accounts is
against our site's TOS since we frequently have votes that are
one-vote-per-account. Our legacy system that we killed when we moved to
Drupal had built-in IP logging every time a user logged in, so we could go in
and check IP addresses in case we suspected a duplicate user. We could also
see the IP address someone signed up from, and match that against any
recently logged IPs.
Does anyone know of a similar tool for Drupal, or is this another module I'm
going to have to write myself? :-)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea,
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas
