This bash commandline will give you a list of sambalogons:

(smbstatus -S | grep -v "^Samba\|^Service\|^-\|^$" | \
	while read SHARE USR GRP PID MACH IP ABR MONTH DAY TIME YEAR; \
		do echo $USR; \
		done;) | uniq
		
If you use a configurable fingerdaemon, than you are able to solve your problem.
Take a search on freshmeat with the keyword "finger". I konw there a
configurable finger daemons..
