hello,

i have a samba server on centos.and client on windows m/c .i need a script to get log of following activities -
1.accessing-ip and machine name-mac address of windows client machine
2.which m/c has opened which folder/file
3.if m/c has created folder and file or append existing file then log of all activies like m/c ip-user name.etc.

actually samba log does not give clear report as per requirement so iam preparing my script.so please give me guide line for script

smbstatus should show you who's connected.

net usershare
net status shares
net status sessions

may also give useful information.

I don't about getting logs of folders / files created during the sessions.

i checked this but not getting any data...can u show me some example.

I can't as I'm not running samba at the moment

Somebody else may be able to help

the result as below:
# net status sessions "this is show users log in to samba "
