ok, you'll have to create one.  the "enumerate" function that reads
STATUS..LCK?  give it a starting index, and have it "skip" that number of
entries, and start from there.

this is probably the best first-pass solution.

num_users is going to be the number of users on that connection.  the smb
protocol allows multiple users to connect over an SMB connection, e.g
WinDD, NTrigue and TSE.  you set a "virtual userid" or a "mid" or
something, i don't know enough about it.

unless there is something already in STATUS..LCK, just report "1" user.
basically you are telling us that STATUS..LCK needs to be re-evaluated.

srvmgr isn't doing _any_ counting at all, it's calling MSDN functions that
report information from a remote machine.  that's the way _all_ of these
NT remote admin tools work.

there isn't one: there is no such MSDN call to do this that neither srvmgr
calls nor rpcclient can equivalent-call.  there _is_ however a srvfiles
command which is NetFileEnum() in srvmgr / MSDN.
