What are you trying to accomplish?
*) Get the IP address of a file server
*) Get a list of shares available from file servers
*) Check that a specific share is writable by a particular client
?

I want to get the IP address of any machine accessing the files on my samba share. As I mentioned, I can do it by examining the output from smbstatus, but feel that there must be a better way.

Thanks for the reply!
