NAME

na_cifs_sessions - information on current CIFS activity

SYNOPSIS

cifs sessions [ -s | -c ] [ user | machine_IP_address * | machine_name ]

cifs sessions -t [ -c ]

DESCRIPTION

The cifs sessions command displays information about CIFS users who are connected to the filer. If you omit the argument, the command displays a summary of information about the filer and lists the users who are connected to the filer.

It is also possible to ask for session information by specifying the user's machine_name.

One can always specify the user's client machine_IP_address to the cifs sessions command. However, if the filer has not been provided the machine name and session information is asked for using the machine_name argument, the cifs sessions command will fail with the message "User (or PC) not logged in".

The -t option displays the total count of CIFS sessions, open shares and open files.

The -c option displays information about open directories and the number of active ChangeNotify requests. When used with the -t option, the total count of open directories and active ChangeNotify requests is also shown. When no other option or argument is present, the -c option shows, for each user, the number of open directories and number of active ChangeNotify requests.

A CIFS client connected to the filer is displayed under the PC IP (PC Name) column as an IP address followed by a NetBIOS name (if available) within parentheses. If NetBIOS name is unavailable, the name is displayed as an IP address followed by empty parentheses.

EXAMPLES

  cifs sessions
  Server Registers as 'HAWLEYR-TOKYO' in group 'NT-DOMAIN'
  Filer is using ja for DOS users
  WINS Server: 10.10.10.55
  Selected domain controller \NT-DOMAIN-BDC for authentication
  ====================================================
  PC IP(PC Name) (user)           #shares   #files
  132.170.108.1(HAWLEY-PC) (hawleyr - root)
                                  1          4
  192.123.34.56()          (foo - userBar)
                                  2          5



  cifs sessions -c
  Server Registers as 'HAWLEYR-TOKYO' in group 'NT-DOMAIN'
  Filer is using ja for DOS users
  WINS Server: 10.10.10.55
  Selected domain controller \NT-DOMAIN-BDC for authentication
  ===============================================================================
  PC IP (PC Name) (user)          #shares   #files   #dirs    #ChangeNotifies
  132.170.108.1(HAWLEY-PC) (hawleyr - root)
                                  1         4         1         2
  192.123.34.56()          (foo - userBar)
                                  5         12        10        10

If you include the user argument, the command displays information about the specified user, along with the names and access level of files that user has opened. If you use * as the specified user, the command lists all users.

Executing the command for user sam might produce output as follows: 

  cifs sessions sam
  users
    shares/files opened

  172.18.34.11(HAWLEY-HOME1)   (sam)
    ENG-USERS
             Read-denyW   - \SAM\SRC\TEST\test_pgm.c


  132.170.108.1(HAWLEY-PC)      (sam)
    ENG-USERS

Specifying the -c option with a user argument, will display the names of open directories and the number of active ChangeNotify requests against the directory. 

  cifs sessions -c sam
  users
    shares/files and directories opened

  172.18.34.11(HAWLEY-HOME1)   (sam) (using security signatures)
    ENG-USERS
             Read-denyW   - \SAM\SRC\TEST\test_pgm.c
             2 ChgNfys    - \SAM\SRC\TEST

The -s option displays security information for a specified connected user. If you do not specify a user or workstation name, the command displays security information for all users.

Executing the command with -s * might produce the following: 

  cifs sessions -s *
  users
    Security Information

          ***************
          UNIX uid = 1208
          user is a member of group nobody(65535)

          NT membership
