samba - Jul 2004 - logged in users

Hallo,

  i've got a little question:
       is it possible to query the domain controller
       which user is loggid in from which workstation.

       I'm writing an webapp for teachers; it would be nice to know
       which pupil logged on from which workstation to shutdown the
       correkt workstation in order to kick the pupil (force logoff)

       or is there an other way to force an logout for an user?


       sorry for my bad english

Best regards,
 Malte                          mailto:malte.woelky@gmx.de

man smbstatus

if you want to see some existing programming in this area - see Samba
module in webmin

I know on the one linux box I have with 2.2.8 on it there is an option 
for utmp logging, but for some reason in my instance it doesn't resolve 
host names.  I'm hoping this option still works in Samba3.

Using that you can simply do a who, grep for smb if users can log in 
directly on your system and/or you want to get rid of the root user 
you're logged in as.
