How to list active samba users?

Question

I could not find a pdbedit or smbldap-userlist option to list just the active samba users.

Solution on Question [1] lists all users and machines and smbldap-userlist -ua lists all users, even if they are inactive. I mean Inactive, not a logged off user but a user that is not active on the domain anymore.

I tried awk and grep to parse the output but I could not match a pattern on [status SMB] column.

Does somebody has a command-line or shell solution? (although, a Python solution will be very welcome)

[1] List Samba users?

Answer 1

The "smbstatus" tool should show the currently active users on a server. There might be some false positives as workstations often keep connections open after a user has logged off.
