Er... thanks, but... how long is that "for a while"? :)
I wanted to test this, and left a user logged in since yesterday at
19:07 (GMT+1). There's nobody there now who can access the machine, I
logged him in remotely using VNC and then closed my VNC connection.
Now, more than 17 hours later, "smbstatus -p" still shows his process.
Also a plain "smbstatus" shows a connection from his workstation to a
service (a Samba share), started exactly yesterday at 19:07.
The user has a couple of icons on the desktop which somehow link to the
Samba server: a link to a subfolder (which actually doesn't exist
anymore) in a Samba share, and a link to a web page whose icon is taken
from a Samba share. But, without using them, I'm not sure they can cause
any activity on the server.
And, indeed, I see no activity in the Samba logs for that user.
On the other hand, I just realized that the antivirus is checking each
hour for new updates in a "guest ok" Samba share, with no
authentication. So I have periodic activity from that machine, but not
from that particular user.
Whatever the reason, if the connection remains active for a whole
working day without user intervention that's more than enough for me!
