I modified my install to do just that. I added a config option to turn it on and off.
What are peoles thoughts on it'should it be added as a standard option?

I'm a fan of mediawiki software and would like to install it in our corporate's intranet for all the "knowhows". To keep the inhibition threshold for editing as low as possible, I would prefer the "anything goes"-version for user rights with no registration necessary. On the other hand it might be desirable to identify an author for further questions about his knowledge.
At present for a non-logged-in-user the local IP-number of the intranet is shown to "identify" the author, but this dosn't really help, because it's choosen accidentally from the DHCP-Server. Is there any way to automatically adopt the login-name of the user for the corporate's network as identifikation for the wiki-user?

Any help will be grateful appreciated! Hanfred
