[Samba] Samba processes lifetime

[Matteo Rosati]

Hi,
i use the "smbstatus -b" command to check the users connected to my
network (the clients are windows XP, and they connect to a samba PDC).
but i notice thar often, even if a user logs-off from windows xp,
using smbstatus i see that he is connected yet. this is very annoying
because i cant obtain raliable informations from smbstatus!
is there a way to set a sort of "lifetime" for samba processes? a wayo
to check "this user is REALLY connected? yes? ok, no? kill the
process!"

here is a sample output:

the entries with "FALSE" are users thar are not connected, so is a
pending process...

thanks everybody
