If you happen to be running a web server on the Samba box, you might run a CGI script 
that presents the output of smbstatus to a password protected web page.  That's how I did 
something similar here. Using this method, I have an internal web page that shows a list 
of users currently connected, and another that lists open files.  I could provide copies 
of the Perl scripts if you're interested.
