Hi Aaron,
Thanks for your reply.
Wow ! That's brilliant !
I've now implemented the "deadtime" option and my utmp stats are working nicely.
I'm using a Slackware-10.0 Linux server with OpenLDAP as the backend.
Thank you so much for your help, greatly appreciated ! Keep well.
Kindest regards David Wilson _______________________________ D c D a t a Tel +27 33 342 7003 Fax +27 33 345 4155 Cell +27 82 4147413 http://www.dcdata.co.za [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by Linux, driven by passion ! _______________________________

Dave,
I use the --with-utmp support (if your system supports it).
You can then view logon times using `last`
I know on my FreeBSD server (PDC) I can save my accounting info, and get monthly summary totals for all my user's usage rates (who's hitting the server the most via the `ac` command) My RedHat server don't seem to have this installed, but I'm sure that with a google you could get it running on a Linux machine as well.
I use this in combo w/ the deadtime = 10 option in smb.conf to automatically disconnect inactive sessions so my utmp, and wtmp logs are a little more accurate.
P.S. the acccounting department loves these because they bill users computing support ISOs according to different usage levels. I combine this with data from my SQL server logs, and wala... I can see who my power users are, and who my technophobes are.

Does anyone know of some decent Samba log analysis software that will report things like user logon/logoff times, computer names etc. ?
Thanks in advance.
