I have a folder on my computer that is shared over local network. I have allowed guest accessibility.
My question is just out of curiosity (without any practical reason).
Can I see username or ip-address of anybody that is currently using this folder?
EDIT: I am using samba to achieve network share.

Is the folder shared using samba? If so, you can do asudo smbstatusto see userids and IP addresses of people using the share.

You can trygrep "smbd" /var/log/auth.logand see if that gives you some history. Since you are indeed using samba, how about if I write this as an answer?

You might be able to get some history from grep "smbd" /var/log/auth.log
