Dear all,
as you already know, it is possible to send short winpopup messages to
Win boxes using the command smbclient -M host.
If a Win user wants to reply, it should be possible to use the Windows'
WinPopUp GUI to reply, but the message gets lost somewhere.
For example:
smbclient -M winbox
Added interface ip=192.1.1.125 bcast=192.1.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Connected. Type your message, ending it with a Control-D
Test
sent 6 bytes
This will cause a little message to appear on the Win9x box.
Now, if I want to reply to the user, say "MARTIN", the Win box says
the
message has been successfully sent. I'd like to know *where*...
Thanks for your time and help!
Cheers,
Martin

How do you send popup messages from the samba side to the windows clients. This would be a nice feature to use. jack At 07:21 AM 11/8/2001 -0600, Gerald (Jerry) Carter wrote:>On Thu, 8 Nov 2001, patel nehal wrote: > > > hello, I am using samba-2.0. and i want to send popup messages to my > > clients.

So... A few months ago, I sketched out, and tested, some code for the 2.2.1a "smbd" which would implement just this, but more naturally. Let's look at the wider picture... The user-visible functionality we seem to be wanting (although hitherto not explicitly stated) is for the standard UNIX commands such as "wall" and "write" (the 'write' that allows one terminal user to write to another) to be available. So (executive summary!) that is what I implemented. I would be happy (more than that: pleased and delighted) to see this functionality rolled into Samba, and my code is available as a basis or example for the Samba Team if they wish. Details: Samba's session code includes "utmp", whose "ut_line" is a pseudo-terminal number, e.g. "smb/99". My code does the following: 1. Allows this optionally to be created as a pipe (e.g. "/dev/smb/99") via an smb.conf parameter; 2. "smbd" includes this in the set of sockets on which it listens; 3. Any data on it is encoded into WinPopup message blocks (sharing common code with the "smbclient" program). Note, incidentally, that allowing the creation of the pseudo-device also fixes a long-standing (but almost completely unrelated) problem with the "finger" command. So we possibly need a second parameter, equivelent to the UNIX "mesg", so that the device can still be created anyway (for sites that wish to fix the finger problem), but messaging not used. Can we agree on the principle of offering this functionality? My code is not perfect, and still needs work. But it is sufficient to demonstrate the principle to the Samba Team... Hope that helps (longer term!). -- : David Lee I.T.
