samba - Mar 2000 - Scripts to extract from Samba logs

Before I reinvent the wheel, I wanted to find out if anyone has developed
any scripts, and has made them available, that extract data from the Samba
log files?

More specifically, I want to use the information in the Samba log files to
create a "database" that shows the date/time a user connected to a
share
and then logged off. The script would run daily and extract the most recent
information.

This will allow me to get a list of recent samba user and send them
informational e-mails; it will also let me know when a user has last
connected to a share.

Thanks,

Have you looked at the `utmp' support in Samba 2.0.7pre?  That does at
least some of what you want.  Use `last [username]' to extract
information from wtmp.

...But then, parsing log.smb shouldn't be too hard either.
