Is it possible to send a broadcast message to all computers in the workgroup/domain? I didn't seen an option for smbclient to send a message to more than one computer. Basically, I'd like to do something like this: echo "my message" | smbclient -M * -W WORKGROUP and have that message popup on all the computers of the WORKGROUP workgroup. Thanks, Paul Miller
have a look in the /samba/examples direcotry - there is a Perl script called wall.pl or something. it won't work with spaces in the names of groups whihc you typically get with winbindd (eg: "domain users") in which case you will have to adapt the regexp to read the netbios names from right to left. I did this the other week and have been side tracked since. Let me know and i can post this if you need it. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Miller [mailto:paul-samba@pinheiro.tcimet.net] Sent: 24 March 2002 15:05 To: Samba List Subject: [Samba] sending broadcast messages (-M) Is it possible to send a broadcast message to all computers in the workgroup/domain?
