Hi everyone, Probably a dumb one too, but simply I cannot put my finger on what command to use in order to see who's locally logged on; let me be more accurate in my description: we run win98 PC all accessing shares on the linux boxes via samba. Several users & shares. When I use finger or who to see who's logged on I only get to see who's logged on directly through ssh or telnet, but can't see who's on through samba. If anyone could help then I'd be glad... of course. Thanx in advance D Jones -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

smbstatus should do the trick. shows you who's connected to which shares at least, and if you have auto mapping of the user's home directory at login time set up, then you can also know who is logged in. :) Nathan Dylan Jones wrote:> Hi everyone, > > Probably a dumb one too, but simply I cannot put my finger on what command > to use in order to see who's locally logged on; let me be more accurate in > my description: > we run win98 PC all accessing shares on the linux boxes via samba.

Hi everyone,
Probably a dumb one too, but simply I cannot put my finger on what command to
use in order to see who's locally logged on; let me be more accurate in my
description:
we run win98 PC all accessing shares on the linux boxes via samba. Several
users & shares. When I use finger or who to see who's logged on I only
get to see who's logged on directly through ssh or telnet, but can't see
who's on through samba.
If anyone could help then I'd be glad... of course.
Thanx in advance
D Jones

Take a search on freshmeat with the keyword "finger". I konw there a configurable finger daemons.. Frank. -- Frank Matthie? fm+samba@Microdata-pos.de

Will compiling with --with-utmp allow you to see users on your network through 'w' and finger? I am not especially new to samba, been running it for a good 3 years of solid performance, but I never played with much else in besides LDAP and Cups support. what does --with-utmp actually do? -Peter>While smbstatus is the 'quick' answer, the --with-utmp code (also needs >'utmp =yes' in smb.conf makes the actual 'finger' and 'w' programs work, >rather than scripted replacements. > >Andrew Bartlett
