samba - Oct 2008 - Sending / Receiving WinPopup on Ubuntu Linux Workstation

Greetings-

Perhaps slightly OT, but still involving the SMB/CIFS protocol:

I am searching for an application which would allow a Linux client (Ubuntu) to
send/receive WinPopup messages.

The only one I have located thus far is LinPopup. However, it depends on the
Samba (server) package. I do not want to deploy a bazillion Samba servers!

TIA!

Check, Linus workstations are installed with smbclinet, libsmbclient, smbfs.

Which are the packages to be a Samba Workstation...

rrrr???? Possibly did you mean that the samba server package is the one with
listeners to receive the incoming WinPopup messages?

If so, sigh, then how much of the smb.conf needs to be populated? Does anyone
have a minimal smb.conf that is **just enough** to receive WinPopup messages?

Like I assume everything related to nmbd can be skipped, and that process does
not even need to be running, etc...

Thanks!
