You can also use the smbstatus command.

The variable is '%m', I believe, so you might want to search for that in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.<BR /><BR />Also, /var/log/samba/nmbd.log and /var/log/samba/smbd.log should contain useful information for you.<BR /><BR />HTH Tue, 03 Mar 2009 15:24:08 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/access-log/m-p/4370615#M35445 Steven McCoy 2009-03-03T15:24:08Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/access-log/m-p/4370616#M35446 Check the /var/log/samba, you will get a log file for each host connected ever.
