Samba-folk:

In the "just for fun" department...

Something I've found very handy is the ability to quickly see all the
connections using "ps -ax":

 2442 S  0:00.04 smbd: kjcwinxp (10.0.0.189) WIN2DOM\cross 
 2693 S  0:00.07 smbd: win2 (10.0.0.205) WIN2DOM\Administrator 
 3016 S  0:00.05 smbd: nt4srv (10.0.0.197) WIN2DOM\User2
 5239 Ss 0:00.08 /usr/pkg/sbin/smbd -D 

It's not as comprehensive as smbstatus, but it's less boring than
hundreds of lines of "smbd -D".  I added this line:

 setproctitle( "%s (%s) %s", get_remote_machine_name(),
conn->client_address, user );

at the end of make_connection_snum in smbd/service.c.
