Konqueror SMB browsing

We are migrating to RedHat Enterprise 4 LDAP from Solaris NIS. We have 10+ remote sites across the world. Hundreds of PCs and *nix systems. Had a Samba server in each remote site running on a Solaris box. Samba shares were linked using NIS to /home/user_name/swap. PCs had no problem accessing the read-only shares. Solaris users used xSMBrowser to navigate their local PCs and remote site PCs/Samba server shares.

Have setup a Samba server on one of my Linux servers. PCs have read-only access to these shares. Each time Samba is accessed, a log is created of who, what, when, and where accessed the share (security tracking). Can still use xSMBrowser for Linux users.

However, knowing that I have used Konqueror smb:// to access the network. And that each time a user access the network with Konqueror, a kio_smb process is started. I would like to find out the following:

1) where can I get more info on Konqueror/Samba?
2) Can I specify all network access go through my Linux Samba server?
3) Logging Linux to network access?

Thanks,
Rich (the poor guy who has to get this thing to work).

The KDE SMB IO handler (kio_smb IO slave) is, AFAIK, using the libsmbclient library.

So my guess is that it should behave like other Samba clients using the same library.

If you need detailed technical information you might get it on the kfm-devel mailinglist, the Konqueror developer mailinglist, however, as it is a developer mailinglist, a posting there should bring this need across, because sometimes user questions end up on such mailinglists and developers get frustrated and ignore any posting looking like one.
