Just wondering... the "message command=" in smb.conf is not run by root or an other user.. so if i use "message command = xmessage -display 0:0 -file $s &" an error occure, Xlib -> unable to connect to bla bla bla... ect. logical coz' running this command as demon (i gues) leave you without enviorement settings.. so i'll like to ask if it is possible to run this command as root or other user, so the transport to DISPLAY will work. i saw some old mailings conserning the same problemo with linpopup...
