Joomla! Secrets
As a member of the Joomla! Bug Squad I often find myself delving around in the innermost parts of this popular CMS package. This section of the site is a growing collection of articles about the interesting and useful things I have discovered whilst doing this.
Joomla! 'accessbyip' Extension

Sometimes it would be great to be able to allow access to a chosen Joomla! user account without the barrier of users having to type in a user-name and password, for example giving company intranet users instant access to a corporate intranet or maybe just when needing to troubleshoot a site. This extension is the answer – It offers automatic authentication to a nominated user account, either based on the IP address of the user's browser, or an automatic "click and enter" option without any security checks at all.
Availability: shortly, when final testing is complete. Email me if you would like to be notified of its release.

It's very possible that you have not encountered the "log" function in Joomla as it used to be somewhat of a hidden feature. However things have changed since the release of V1.7.
