Samba access report

[Luis Toro]

Hi,
Is there a samba command that would give me the access that a particular UNIX userid has ? I know the information is in the smb.conf file, but I need to develop a report that will scan the accounts in /etc/passwd, check for samba access (ie., grep username.map), then list the directories (and access level, if possible) that the userid(s) has via samba. Note that the report is required by non-admins, so simply printing the smb.conf file is not enough. I know its scriptable, but before I start doing that, I figure I'd ask. Note that access in smb.conf is defined at both the userid and group level for some directories.
Thanks

The smb.conf file has a log file defined.

Some information is stored in this log file.

You can create an activity report, at least a bare bones one by processing that log file.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not looking to report on activity, but rather on access. Whether or not a userid has accessed a certain samba share does not matter; I need to report on what a userid can access.

I don't believe the functionality you request is built into samba.

I may be wrong about that. This is quite specific and might better be directed to http://www.samba.org

If your system is trusted, you might be able to extract the information from the audit reports.
