how to check who's accessing samba shared folder from windows
i had a file server (samba server) ,windows user save their files on thier shared in linux.i want to know did i know which windows user is accessing server shared dir.either by thier ip address...
If you have webmin installed with the samba module and you access the share info, you will find a "View connections" button that lists all open connections to that share.
Distribution: debian on servers and embedded, kubuntu elsewhere

Oh, I assure* it can do no harm; all it does is take the output of the smbstatus and reorganize it, grouping the information per user/client pc.
I have another script though to "kick" user connections (I named it really "kick"); you go "kick john.smith", and it finds the PIDs for the guy's samba connections/locked files, then kills them. This one does harm , but it is eventually useful (when windows/app crashes and leaves file locked in the server)
(*the assurance of a random guy in a forum means nothing, but you can read the script :-) )
