samba - May 2004 - Sending message to connected users ?

Hi,

Is there any simple way to send messages to all users who are connected to my
Samba server.

I've just a basic fileserver setup  (in a workgroup not Domain) all clients
are using Win2k and mapping to shares.  I'd like to be able to send them a
"popup" message from the Linux console (or my PC, or somewhere !) to
let them know when I'm intending to reboot the server !

Slackware Linux (8.0)
Samba 2.2.8a

Hi Mike,

there is a "simple" way for that.
you can use the smbclient on your linux system.

f.e. smbclient -M Computer
sends a message to the PC with the netbiosname Computer.

Arno
