[Samba] How to see loging of the user

[Patrick DUBAU]

Thanks Sebastian for your (quick) response.

I did what you say and it works. But i have 3 questions :
- only the 8 first characters from the loging name are stored (for 
example : patrick. instead of patrick.dubau, see capture below). Is 
there a vay to pass over this limit ?
- for the 2 last lines from the capture below (lines starting by 
isabelle) i don't understand the meaning. The last line says : she 
logged in at 13:40 and logout at 13:40. But line before says she's still 
connected... Strange no ? (for the same station !)
- we have 2 severs (1 PDC and 1 BDC) so only one of them will log the 
login and logout, and not only the same, in fact the first which 
responds Right ?
