<sect>The Samba Status Monitor
<p>
The Samba Status Monitor is a
front end to the program <tt>smbstatus</tt>
which reports on current 
Samba connections, and is part of the
suite of Samba tools, which implements the <bf> SMB</bf>
(<em>Session Message Block</em>) protocol, also called
the <bf>NetBIOS</bf> or <bf>LanManager</bf> protocol.
This protocol can be used to provide printer sharing 
or drive sharing services on a network including
machines running the various flavors of Microsoft Windows.


<p>
The information supplied by 
<tt>smbstatus</tt> is listed for each SMB
service.   

<p>
<em>Note</em>: an error message appears if 
the program <tt>smbstatus</tt>
was not found on your system.
