Hi, When are client sessions closed?
Let me explain what I'm trying to do... we're in a School district and we try to stop kids logging more than once. They way I did this before was to dump the active sessions from our previous Server2003 fileserver into a file once a minute and process it with a Perl script to check who was connected from where, rebooting machines remotely as needed! This work well enough with the odd 'hung' session causing minor problems. So now I'm trying to do the same thing with our new Samba (3.0.31) fileserver using the output from smbstatus. However, in many cases sessions are still in there long after the user has logged out of the machine. I'm even seeing two sessions for different people on the same machine with the same pid number! How is this working? Why are not all sessions ending when the user logs off? Am I going to be able to use this for what I'm trying to do?!! The fileserver itself is working great, we have over 2000 users happily using it with less problems than we had on the Windows box. I really appreciate all the work the Samba team does!
