How to tell what clients/how many clients are connected to my share?

[mrt2]

I'm running Leopard and I have several folders shared but how do I tell which clients are connected to my shares?

[mrt2]

No takers on this one?

did you try netstat on a terminal window?

I am not sure if you can see who is connected to your public folders exactly but there are plenty infos there

That's so crazy to me, there HAS to be a way to do this... I know this is Leopard and Leopard server but still... does anyone know if Leopard server has this ability? It wouldn't even make sense for it not to have the ability to view connected users on a server OS so I hope it does... I would switch to Leopard server if it had this ability.

Get Leopard Server.

In Server Admin, click the 'Connections' tab on the specific service and you'll see all the details of the connected users.

OS X Server is a ton easier to manage shares as well, so I'm sure you'll appreciate that as well.

What would be the advantages/disadvantages of running OS-X Leopard server? Historically with Windows OS's the server versions have great support for well... server stuff but crappy support for gaming/multimedia/video/music type of things... Does OS-X server fall prey to the same downfalls?

As far as I know, 10.5 server is just 10.5 client with added management tools and services. Should be fine.
