[Samba] Listing all users in a remote Samba server

[Erik Torres Serrano]

Thanks a lot for your answer.

As a matter of security I really don't want to install network client 
applications on the box. In the other hand this job is part of a new 
webmin module, so the use of external commands unassociate with webmin 
are not available for me :(

Regards,

Erik
