Hello to all!
For some time now there have been intermittent posts by folks in search
of a logging software for the Mac. Something that mimics the Neal
Benson HP program (FACSLog) would be nice. We have found something that
works well, suits our needs perfectly and is inexpensive. It is written
by a man named Klaus Berkling, and is called MacLogin. There are three
versions: MacLogin for Password, MacLogin for TC/PIP, and MacLogin for
Appletalk. We use the Password version. You must create a user
database which includes a login ID and password for each individual.
MacLogin writes to a log file that you create, and includes fields for
user, group (similar to 'group' in Neal Benson's program),location (this
would be the name of the Mac being used, obtained from the Sharing
setup), date in, time in, date out, and time out. For Core Facility
Managers this software is a necessity. The log file can then be
imported into your favorite database (we use FileMaker Pro by Claris),
and a billing statement can be easily created. Check out the MacLogin
webpage at:

Please note that this software is not meant for security with respect to
locking folders/documents/drives etc. It can only track machine usage,
which is exactly what we need. Bye and good luck!
