What do you mean what "account" the IP address is associated with?
What kind of account? Account on what/where? If you could be a lot
more specific about your question we could be a lot more helpful. If
your apache web server is writing its logfiles in the unified log
format, then you will see lines that look like this:<br>
<br>
180.76.5.148 - - [17/May/2012:10:38:55 -0600] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 9451
"-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Baiduspider/2.0;
+http://www.baidu.com/search/spider.html)"<br>
<br>
The second - after the IP address is where the username (account) that
apache authenticated would be. If you're using some authentication
scheme (like basic-http with .htpasswd files, for instance), then the
logfile line might look like this:<br>
<br>
69.1.1.1 - ockers [17/May/2012:11:38:47 -0600] "GET /index.php
HTTP/1.1" 200 3862<br>
<br>
In this way you could associate an IP address with a basic-http user.
Note that there could be more than user logging in from the same IP
address. You might have your web server configured to write log files
in a short or abbreviated format instead of the longer format, but you
can look in the httpd.conf to see what the logfile format is. Since
you didn't say what kind of account or what authentication scheme or
system you're using I can't suggest anything further.<br>
<br>
I hope this helps,<br>

I know that Apache can be configured to deny requests from a specific
IP, and I have the account information of someone specific to deny, but
I can't quite seem to get over the last hurdle of associating an IP
address with an account. Rooting around in the access logs has yet to
produce an instance of his username. <br>
<br>
In short, I thought I'd ask if the clue-denziens have advice for
identifying a given apache users IP address?<br>
