Thanks. Actually, I was hoping for a simpler way to gather the information on all the user's who are mapping shares and which shares at a specific time.

For instance, if an extra parameter can be added to the cifs sessions command (verbose maybe) that would also display the shares the users are using at the same time. That way I wouldn't have to run cifs sessions username on each user that has an open session.

Also, since the information is available in the NT server manager, I thought maybe someone might have the command line to get that information from NT.

If there isn't such a thing, then I guess a script that takes the output from cifs sessions that parses out the username and then runs the cifs session username will be the way to go.

Thanks

Do this via rsh command to a Filer, or on the Filer itself.

Displaying CIFS session information

BM_1288165

CIFS session information you can display

BM_1263345You can display information about connected users and the number of shares and open files for each user. You can also display information about a specific connected user.

BM_1263347

Displaying information with the cifs sessions command

BM_1263348The cifs sessions command syntax is as follows:

BM_1263349 cifs sessions <username>

BM_1263351

Displaying information about all connected users

BM_1263352To display information about all connected users, use the following command syntax:

BM_1263354 cifs sessions

BM_1263355Sample output is

BM_1263356 Server Registers as 'TOASTER` in group WNT-DOMAIN

BM_1263357 WINS Server: 272.320.0.4

BM_1263358 PC style Access Control is being used

BM_1263362 SMITHPC (qsmith) 1 1

BM_1263363 PETERSPC (zpeters) 2 3

BM_1263364

Displaying information about one user

BM_1263365To display the information for a particular user, specify the user name in the command; for example:

BM_1263366 cifs sessions ghopper

BM_1263367 users

BM_1263368 shares/files opened

BM_1263369

BM_1263370 HALEY-HOME1 (ghopper)

BM_1263371 ENG-USERS

BM_1263372 Read-denyW -

BM_1263376 ENG-USERS

BM_1263377

Displaying connected user security information

BM_1263378To display security information for each connected user, use cifs sessions with the -s option. After the first two lines, detailed information for each connected user is displayed. The following example lists only one user.

BM_1263379 cifs sessions -s

BM_1263380 users

BM_1263381 Security Information

Hi,

We want to intermittantly capture data on which users are mapping which cifs shares off of our filers. Any one familiar with a command line way of doing this, either from NT or solaris or the Network Appliance itself?

(The information shows up in the NT server manager, but it is not very useful in terms of capturing trends...)

Thanks!
