Sorry, my mistake the machine name comes up the samba, the only difference is the usesrname and group I've recently noticed a minor problem in smbstatus within Samba 3. What happens in that every now and then a user will log out, the server doesn't register it, then another user logs in and the system gives them the same Processor ID. The problem is that the user the logged out it also registered. This poses a problem as I've no apparent way to discovering what's the current user on the machine. e.g. PID Username Group Machine ------------------------------------------------------------------- 63039 user1 teachers staff1 (192.168.1.345) 63039 user2 admin staff1 (192.168.1.345) Please note: This machine is running FreeBSD 5.2.1, Samba 3.0.2a and OpenLDAP 2.0.27
