Is it possible to see list of who is connected to an SMB share?

Hi all,

Is it possible to see list of who is connected to an SMB share? And to disconnect (cleanly or forcefully) some/all of the users? I'm considering replacing a macOS Server file sharing box with FreeNAS, and I don't see anything like the attached screenshot.

Thanks,

Sean

from the CLI run smbstatus -b then kill the PID you want shot of

Thanks for your reply, quite helpful. I guess there is no GUI for this? Not too important, the -b status output is useful enough.

But killing the process does not seem to cause a disconnection of the client. I am connected from macOS, then kill the associated pid, but I'm still able to navigate into folders from the Finder. Running smbstatus again just shows a new pid associated.

Small follow up: killing the process is still useful when changing share settings at least. The client may reconnect quickly, but at least then it sees things like permission changes.
