The sequence of logging on goes like this:
1 A machine is turned on.
2 It obtains an IP address from a DHCP server.
3 The user logs on.

Since 2 comes before 3, the DHCP server cannot
possibly deny an address to an unauthorised user -
because there isn't one at this stage!. Perhaps there
are DHCP servers that can be programmed to issue
an IP address to certain MAC addresses only.
However, it would be quite a job to maintain the
MAC address list up-to-dateat all times!
