[Samba] Listing all users in a remote Samba server

[Necos Secon]

If you're really concerned about security, you can run the code on Samba 
server itself and pipe the output to SSH (if you're running a *nix variant). 
There's a Net::SSH module available for just this purpose. Combine this with 
scp and you can get the output you desire.
