Monitor File Sharing

I am running mac os x 10.4.8 on a MacBook.

I have activated Windows File Sharing in System Preferences/Sharing. I want a way to monitor the file sharing activity under windows you can easily see who is connected to your machine under what user name and what files they are accessing.

I was reading an article at http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2003/05/30/macosxhints.html
which details a method to activate logging for AppleFileServer in os x 10.3 using net info manager. I have tried this and under 10.4.8 AppleFileServer doesn't seem to appear especially not in the net info manager.

Has this changed and if so how do I enable logging for the information I want?
Also does anyone know of any real time monitoring software for this kind of information? in particular how do I terminate a specific connection?

Thanks in advance
 
Something like running "smbstatus" in terminal? Or something different?

Windows file sharing runs under Samba, smb, so it may not be in the Apple file sharing (afp) logs.
