Is "smbclient -M" supposed to work to a Windows 7 machine? Using
samba3-3.4.9-42.el5 I get:
# echo "Hello world" | smbclient -NM PC167
Connection to PC167 failed. Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
The name resolves correctly, and the command works to an XP client with
Messenger service enabled.
Win 7 has its own "MSG.EXE" program for that sort of thing, which
apparently
no longer requires the Messenger service. If the WinPopup protocol is no
longer supported, does Samba have another messaging command?
