Getting Username Account from client IP address

[Dale Bewley]

I'm finishing up something similar. 

We have different offices on multiple /24's. Each one of the offices
doesn't know of each other so, the windows usernames can be the same.
These are mapped to unix usernames based on the officename 
i.e. officename-fred and office names are mapped to /24's via a
file.

I changed username.c:map_username() to use our file to match the
3rd octect of the clients source address to their office and then to the
correct username.
