samba - Apr 2002 - message command will not work on debian woody

Hello.

First of all, sorry for my broken Englsih i am not a native speaker.

This is my first mail to this list.
I hope i make no mistake.

Okay, no my Problem.

I tried to use the message command feature to catch winpopups sent to my
debian box,
as it is described at
http://samba.linuxbe.org/en/samba/config/advanced.html#messages

Win client (e.g. net send debian hiho) or with # smbclient -M localhost;
give positve result,
for commands like this.

But it doesn't work.. no message is printed on the ttys.

So I tried the same config & commands with Redhat 7.2 on a other computer,
and there was no problem using something like this:

message command = /bin/bash -c 'cat %s | wall; rm %s'

So i want to know how I can help my self.
How can i find out where my message get lost.
Is it maybee a bug?
Or gut debian a litte much of secure in this case?
I would be very happy if i could deal with this problem,
and other like this.

Thanks in advantage

Hi,

Probably should have been doing other things, but decided to have a play with 
this winpopup stuff. 

samserver = my servers netbios name
	- Installed as per site mentioned. 
	- restarted samba
	- From smbclient -M samserver
	- tkpopup popped up

from samserver to my VMware 95 machine
	- smbclient -M vm95
	- nothing

installed "file and print sharing" on 95 machine
	- smbclient -M vm95 (from samserver)
	- winpopup worked! (on vm95)(coincidence??)
