For NT WS this seems to be nothing more than just a little shell programming:

Configure a "(root) preexec" for each share (or do it global) which runs a script. 
The script should do the following: 

- First check the output of "samba status" if there is already a connection
  from this IP address (pass %I to the script). If yes: terminate.
- Get the users last connect time from some local database (user name is in %U)
- Store the user and current time into the same local database as new last connect
  time
- Send him a popup message with something like
    echo "Your last connect time was $last" | /your_path/smbclient -M $machine
  ($last is from the local database und $machine is from %m)

With smbclient connects this seems to be a little more complicated since you have 
nothing like a useful netbios name of the client machine. Perhaps someone else 
spins anything around this.

Hasta la vista,
               Robert
