[Samba] smbclient printout

[Mark Adams]

You could use watch (man watch) in a script to append (>>) to a log file
making sure you background the process (&) so it is "daemon like"

You could then put your script in to your init routines to operate on
startup. 

You should investigate how intensive this might be on your system,
though.
