Hi,

I have setup a linux server with 15 workstation (windows 98 os). when i try to shutdown the server after working hour, it will straight away down the server without warn me files are still using by workstation. is there any way i can detect that ? or is there anyway i can see the user activity from linux server ? i'm using RedHat 9.0

Why do you shut down the server after working hours? Why don't you just run samba through xinetd. With xintetd, you can restrict access by time if you want.

A great tutorial on configuring everything in xinetd (except time restrictions) is here:

Just add something along the lines of:
access_times = 11:30-13:00 17:30-09:30

This will restrict access during lunch and from 5:30 to 9:30 in the morning
