similar to: pre2.0.7 disk quota bug:

From the smb.conf help document regarding the "message command" 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

Hi all, SAMBA pre2.0.7 ./configure --with-quotas Linux 2.0.36 The old disk quota bug is still here. If user tries to write the file to SAMBA share and disk quota is exceeded, SAMBA fills remaining space within the target file with spaces, and writes it to the share. This is "xcopy" behavior. If the program writes small chunks of file, the result may differ. The user is under

I a have a problem resulting from a neat tool I developed through the use of the "root preexec" option: This is done in the [homes] section of smb.conf. I launch a shell script with the user name (%u) and machine name (%m). The shell calls a C program to check the users quota and returns a code as the percentage of quota used. Meanwhile, all output of the C program has been captured

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

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

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

I know I've read something about this in the distant past, but i can't seem to find any info on it now. I'm hoping someone knows offhand... I'm using samba 2.2.8a and cups 1.1.17 to serve printing to some windows 2000 workstations. Cups is set up with raw queues and I'm using the windows drivers available from HP. When the clients print from the windows print server,

Hi all, There is a small bug at the new Unicode support. I didn't follow the consequences of this bug, but this _is_ a bug ;-). The bug stands on wrong charset name. Instead of KOI8-R (this is right) it's called KOI-R (this is wrong). (I'm afraid the long lines wrap, but it shows the picture) 1.

Hello i am sending winpopup messages throught (smbclient -M) and it seem to work fine but i dont recieve anything at my w98 machines.

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

Hi there. how do I send a winpopup message to a machine knowing its IP only? I tryed witch 'smbclient -M ' but I need the netbios for that machine... -- Enrique Iglesias Rodriguez System Administrator http://www.intelideas.net Madrid, Spain -- CtrInt

Dear all, as you already know, it is possible to send short winpopup messages to Win boxes using the command smbclient -M host. If a Win user wants to reply, it should be possible to use the Windows' WinPopUp GUI to reply, but the message gets lost somewhere. For example: smbclient -M winbox Added interface ip=192.1.1.125 bcast=192.1.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Connected. Type your message,

Hi, after updating our printserver from Samba V2.0.6 to V2.2.7 I encountered the following problem. Samba does not execute the (root) pre- and postexec within the printers section. If you are using these command in another section everything works fine. Does anybody know if these command are not supported in the printers section anymore? smb.conf: [global] ... load printers = yes lpq cache

Hi Samba team, first I want to appologize for this spam, you probably get tons of such messages per day. However I am desparate and sick of digging into newsgroups, mailing lists and everything else ;)) Since 1 year I am trying to find a way to make samba receive winpopup messages from Windows 2000, or Xp, using the "net send" command. Receiving messages from other linux machines

Is there any work going on for Samba 2.0.6 in the way of making passwords expire ? Or does anyone know how to do it ? Thanks. Alan.

I'm running Samba v2.0.5a on a RedHat v6.0 system. This server provides SMB shares to Win98, OS/2 and Linux clients. Everything is running fine with the Win98 and OS/2 clients, but I have a few questions regarding Samba and Linux clients. 1. Is there a way for Linux systems to receive SMB messages? Something analogous to Windows' "WinPopup" or OS/2's "Network

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

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 a few configuration files and
