[Samba] Samba 3 smbstatus not as good

[Tom Schaefer]

I use a lot of "force user" and "force group" directives on various
shares.  With smbstatus of Samba 2 I could always verify with a glance
what uid and gid a particular service is being accessed as, with Samba 3
you can't.  I'd REALLY like to see that come back to smbstatus.

Here's a real world example of my complaint...

Samba 2 smbstatus output...

Samba version 2.2.8a
Service      uid      gid      pid     machine
----------------------------------------------
htdocs       schaefert cfusion   8004   medusa (192.168.0.5) Fri Jul 30 09:21:18 2004
optometry    schaefert cfusion2  8004   medusa (192.168.0.5) Fri Jul 30 09:21:22 2004


Samba 3 smbstatus output...

Samba version 3.0.2a
PID     Username      Group         Machine                        
-------------------------------------------------------------------
  293   schaefert     cfusion       medusa (192.168.0.5)

Service      pid     machine       Connected at
-------------------------------------------------------
htdocs         293   medusa  Thu Jul 29 15:31:47 2004
optometry      293   medusa  Thu Jul 29 15:30:45 2004

With Samba 3 I am connected to the optometry share with gid cfusion2
but there's no way to know that.  Btw, no, smbstatus -v doesn't
show it either.

Basically this message is just a plea to the Samba developers to put back
the uid and gid information.

Thankyou,
