I'd start with the requisite 2 smbd daemons at service startup and do
'ps auxwww | grep smbd' (on a RHAS3 server) and count the extra daemons.
A rule of thumb is one extra daemon per logged in workstation.

If you want to see what shares they have open, do 'lsof -p' on each of
the PIDs the extra daemons are using and look for open non-system files.

It shouldn't be too difficult to write a little shell/awk script to
automate this.
