+
+ <para>The <command>vfs_smb_traffic_analyzer</command> VFS module logs
+ client write and read operations on a Samba server and sends this data
+ over a socket to a helper program, which feeds a SQL database. More
+ information on the helper programs can be obtained from the
+ homepage of the project at:
+ http://holger123.wordpress.com/smb-traffic-analyzer/
+ </para>

+ <member>pwrite</member>
+ <member>read</member>
+ <member>pread</member>
