samba - Oct 2003 - can i send win popup msg from any computer in the same subnet ?

Dear all,

i want to send windows popup message from a redhat 9.0 box in the same
subnet.
the receivers are on group of 'ECON'.
does this redhat machine have to be the samba server to send win msg ?

error i got is "Connection to econ02 failed"

econ02 is a XP pro machine and a popup service is running.

#nmblookup econ02 can resolve the correct ip.

querying econ02 on 130.63.230.255
130.63.230.42 econ02<00>
192.168.0.1 econ02<00>
192.168.61.1 econ02<00>

#nmblookup -M -- -
querying __MSBROWSE__ on 130.63.230.255
130.63.230.242 __MSBROWSE__<01>
130.63.230.132 __MSBROWSE__<01>

Hello, all.  I want to send a message to Windwos clients, a la 
"smbclient -M", from my Samba 3.x box.  Is this possible?  I seem to 
recall (and apt-get seems to agree) that smbclient has been deprecated; 
however, I can't find the winpopup functionality in the "net"
command.
I suppose I could just compile the source for smbclient, and hope that 
it works, but if there's a "right way" to do it, that's the
way I'd
prefer to go.

Thanks much,

On a box with 2.2.8a I used 2 variants:

1.
echo "message" | smbclient -M recipient_machine -U 
name_of_your_choice > /dev/null

2.
I created a file 'msg' and sent it with
cat /path/msg | smbclient -M recipient_machine -U name_of_your_choice
> /dev/null
didn't try it on Samba2, but I think it will work there, too.
