How do I find the current connections to a Samba server?

To find the current connections to a Samba server, you can use the "smbstatus" command. "smbstatus" is a command-line utility that allows you to view the status of the Samba server, including the active connections and the shared resources.

To use "smbstatus", follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal and type the following command:

smbstatus

2. The output of the "smbstatus" command includes a list of the active connections to the Samba server. For example:

Samba version 4.11.5
PID     Username     Group        Machine                                   Protocol Version  Encryption           Signing
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8892    user1        users        192.168.1.100 (ipv4:192.168.1.100:49597)  SMB3_11           -                    -
8903    user2        users        192.168.1.101 (ipv4:192.168.1.101:49598)  SMB3_11           -                    -

3. The "Username" column shows the name of the user who is connected to the Samba server. The "Machine" column shows the IP address and port of the client's machine. The "Protocol Version" column shows the version of the SMB protocol used by the connection.

You can also use the "-b" option to show the list of shared resources and the clients connected to them. For example:

smbstatus -b

This will display a list of shared resources and the clients connected to them, along with the details of the connection (e.g., IP address, protocol version, etc.). Consult the documentation of "smbstatus" for more information on how to use this utility.
