That would be really nice!

This seems too big-brother-ish for my tastes.  I would like an audit trail
of:
    #times a given shared folder has been linked to
    lasttime a shared folder was linked to
    (and perhaps) person who last linked to each shared folder
    I'd also like to know the last time the *owner* linked to
        the machine, and from where.  The owner is me, and if
        I'm linking from somewhere else it would be nice to know...

that would require a constant amount of disk space, instead of having an  
ever-expanding logfile somewhere.  I hate ever-expanding log files, because I  
usually forget about them until I run out of space...

But I'd be happy enough just to have some way to find out who is actively  
linked to my shared folders...
