samba - Aug 2005 - Login and logout auditing

Hi all!

Is there a way of logging date/time/workstation/username for every logon 
and logoff in a samba domain?

I realized that it isn't possible to use log level auth for this purpose.

I tried to use connections to netlogon service written on the logs. But I 
realized that those connections are closed before the user logs out.

The main idea behind this is to have information enought to generate 
reports about user profiling and machine usage.

Could anyone help me?

Thanks in advance!

Use the "utmp" option in your smb.conf.
And then - "last" for your recording purposes.
