smbstatus will also tell you who has an active connection to what shares, even if they have yet to actually open some file. while it's possible for someone to open a file in app that reads to ram then closes, such as notepad.exe, making edits and letting them sit without saving for long enough that an smb client would disconnect the session is unlikely given the "save often" mentality that most have gotten from using PC's. From application crashes, to power outages, to 2 year old kids pressing buttons, save often! -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
