Hi ... 2 questions: (samba with with win9x clients) First, is there a way to broadcast a simple message to anyone logged in to the samba server..... for example.... "The technician is going out for beers and the sever will be shut down in 10 minutes" Second, I haven't tried using "swat" yet... and I have added just a handful of users.... but what if I need to add hundreds of users....(no NT or Novell anywhere) Is there some type of import utility..or script that can be run to quickly add a bunch of users and their passwords or something... Also I suck at programming....so if there's programming involved...I'm probably better off spending a weekend typing the accounts in by hand.... Thanks Mike
