You can also look at something like packetfence (packetfence.org).

Its an open source NAC that can do DHCP fingerprinting and deny a
client from getting an IP based on the fact that it is not a
supported
OS.


And a determined intruder can do OS spoofing - please stop trying to
make DHCP into a security system - you will be creating a false
sense of security. Use a protocol that is meant to provide security
- like IPsec.

Cheers, Tim.
