I don't think it does by default. I've added this to my smb.conf so I have this info

     root preexec = csh -c 'echo "`date`: %u connected from %m (%I)" >> /var/log/samba/login.log'
     root postexec = csh -c 'echo "`date`: %u disconnected from %m (%I)" >> /var/log/samba/login.log'

I've setup logrotate so the file doesn't get too big. A friend has also written a little php file 
that reads the file so you can easily see who's logged in. Only problem is that we have so much 
traffic that it would never finish so I've just setup a cron job that copies the login.log file 
every 5 minutes and pointed the php file at that.
