Only way I know of is smbstatus. If there was an interface to smbstatus
where one could pipe commands and you get the results I could use that as
a workable interface to connect "dstat" to a local samba server.
See:

Sadly, forking smbstatus and grepping output for a few counters is more
work than it should be.
So I'm interested as well to learn how to get counters from samba, other
than smbstatus that is :)
