How to identify NAS CIFS shares users?

With any given NAS CIFS share we need to be able to determine who is using that share. Is this information available from command line or GUI?

Same thing for NFS exports.

Thanks!

in Windows MMC once connected to a CIFS server you can click on "Open Files", that will show you who's connected at that moment and has files opened ..nothing historical though.

AFAIK for CIFS this info is only kept per CIFS server and not per share

you can see that either using the Microsoft MMC on a Windows client or with server_cifs -audit

for NFS this isnt really reliably kept since the protocol is stateless

you can get some info from a showmount -a - but it might contain clients that were removed from the network or powered down without unmounting
