Hi, I have a linux (redhat 6.0) print server and I am running samba 2.0.3-8 serving win95 machines. I would like the print server to send a message to the win95 when a print job is completed. To do that, I run winpopup on win95. However, if win95 users close winpopup, they do not receive any message. Is there any more realiable method to communicate with win95 machines? I would appreciate any comments. Thanks. Suryani. -- Suryani Lim Department of Psychology University of Melbourne Parkvil...

Just wondering if there is a way to send a WinPopup message to a user (using username). I have had a look at smbclient but it appears to only allow sending messages to a computer name. Thanks in advance, Russell Kliese

Before I start I should say that I will pay $2000US to get the information or code I seek. I need code or protocol specs to be able to send winpopup messages. It cannot be done via mail slots because it has to work over the internet at large. If you type in "net send x.x.x.x hello" on any windows nt or xp machines it will send a winpopup using UDP ports 137 and then 135 (also 1031 and 1026 I think) over the internet. The code or pr...

Hello i am sending winpopup messages throught (smbclient -M) and it seem to work fine but i dont recieve anything at my w98 machines. For example, i do: ---------------------- jorge@tagoror:~> smbclient -M ALFA added interface ip=192.201.11.67 bcast=192.201.11.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=192.201.11.1 bcast...

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! -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/

I want to use smbclient -M to send new mail notification to unix users. I have some of our workstations running smbd from inetd and am using the "message command" option quite successfully. What I was wondering is, has someone implemented the winpopup reception end in a form that would be more efficient than using full blown smbd? Am I making myself clear? Perhaps if someone could give me the format of a winpopup message I could write a simple receiver in Perl. -Todd

OK, yesterday I was asked abut moving an existing Python program from an NT machine to a Unix machine. This involves sending a message to winpopup. So, after some digging I found smbclient's -M option. Well, it works fine when I send it to a machine that is not part of the site domain. When I send it to a machine that is logged in to the domain, I get "session request invalid". Any help appreciated, I've already spent a co...

Hello All, Does anyone know how one could send the same Winpopup message to all Win-clients on a network? I need it for building a fail-over system, in case our primary server goes down, I need a way to automate the process of informing all clients that they need to log-off the network, wait a few minutes and then log back on, while the back-up server switches...

Can Samba be used to generated WinPopUp RPC calls on TCP port 135? I am familiar with using the "smbclient -M" command to send messages using the Win Popup protocol, otherwise known as Windows Messenger Service, or what a Microsoft user does from a DOS prompt as a "net send" command. WinPopup can be generated either...

...field:- >You could make this command send mail, or whatever else takes your fancy. >Please let us know of any really interesting ideas you have. First, my question:- Does Samba do anything in particular with the standard output of the program specified here? What would it take to have it WinPopUp-ed back to the sender of the message? I'm presently working on a program** to enable simple commands of some kind to be WinPopUp-ed to a Linux box and acted on or responded to in some way. For example, rather than having to telnet to my Linux box, log in, enter "ifup ppp0" to dial...

Has anyone modified smbclient to send winpopup-style message broadcasts to Win95 workgroups/WinNT domains? If not, any tips on how I could go about doing it? What section of the SMB RFCs (1001, 1002, 1003) would be likely to talk about it? (I'm not sufficiently versed in low-level SMB, so most of the RFCs are still Greek to me. So if someo...

Dear SAMBA gurus, I browsed the list archives but found nothing relevant about this big (IMHO) problem. Only just another problem like mine, unfortunately unanswerd :(. I have here samba-2.0.3 on a Linux box, libc5, manually compiled without problems. All is well EXCEPT WinPopUp messages, I can send them OK but I cannot receive. As receiver I set LinPopUp but I don't think that is ever called because the message get lost and on every message that I receive I get a entry in the <machine name>.log that looks like: mircea:/usr/local/samba/var# cat log.mircea [1999/...

Hey, Happy New Year. I've searched the web for a while and can't get an answer to a question: I can send a message (using WinPopUp, net send, or smbclient -NM) to Windows and Linux PC's. But, when I send a message to the whole workgroup "net send /domain Hello" Only the Windows PC's respond to it (with the Windows message service). Samba does not see it. My question is, how do I get samba to catch the workgr...

...onnection 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? Moray. "To err is human; to purr, feline."
