That's a new variation...

Why? What specific problem are you trying to fix. 

Why would they have more than one account?

But...

- even if you do this, what's to stop them just going to a different computer and logging on with their friend's account?

- what happens if two students *legitimately* want to use the same computer? How long would you lock that IP address from access by a different account?


Sounds like the wrong solution. It's more normal to make it quite clear that using somebody else's login is a major breach of security and will have (nasty) consequences. You'll never stop them doing it if they think it's somehow ok.
