yes, but resonably a user that is connected to your machine is also logged
on the machine showed in the list.
if you usually do not share any dir from your server you may also try to
map a fake one just for reporting purposes :(

Anyway have you checked the utmp module?
you will need to recompile samba to activate it as it is experimental, but
then you only need to launch a last command to see who logged and (from
which machine also, I think).
Unfortunately, I've never tested it.
