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

Hi, Some time ago, I wrote a small script based on some information on one of the Samba lists, which let me figure out which machine a user was logged in on. The script was this:- # smbfind: watch for someone to log in PATH=/bin:/usr/bin case $# in 0) echo 'Usage: smbfind <nt_login>' 1>&2; exit 1 esac nmblookup -S "${1}#03" | awk '/<00> - /{print

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

I've gotten smb-wall to work with Samba v3. If there's a better way, please let me know. If not, what's the chances this could be included in a future release? #!/usr/bin/perl # #@(#) smb-wall.pl Description: #@(#) A perl script which allows you to announce whatever you choose to #@(#) every PC client currently connected to a Samba Server... #@(#) ...using "smbclient -M"

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Folks, I looked through the archives, but didn't see anything like this. I have a network with a mix of Win95, Win98, and WinME clients (and one Linux system w/ Samba server version 2.2.2). All systems belong to a workgroup called "Oteima". All Win95 and Win98 clients see all other systems (including the Linux box) in one list.

Ok that is pretty much what I do.. Except.. Most of my net sends don't end up working.. They fail unless I explicitly do a nmblookup and specify the broadcast to find that computer.. Seeing how im dealing with the entire contents of 10.x.x.x around 20,000 computers that I may have to contact for some reason.. Its easy for me to know there netbios name.. As its there login name.. However

I'm trying to see what computer is accessing certain files through samba, and the SWAT status page is a useful tool for that. Problem is that for some computers, only the IP address shows, not the NetBIOS name. This is only a problem with certain computers. Since we're using DHCP on many computers I don't always know off the top of my head what computer has any given IP

Does anyone know how I can fix the following problem? Server running Solaris 5.7 with samba 2.0.7, as a client, installed does not show up in the Network Neighborhood's workgroup. Server's IP address was changed, samba 2.0.7 was added and now it does not work. You can get to the server by typing it in by hand \\<server-name> or <server-ip> but it does not appear in the

I've tried building it on a server that I know has pretty much every library possible for a program to need, but I'm still not getting a good samba install. I'm on white-dwarf linux (kernel 2.4.25), gcc 3.3.2, Samba 3.0.2a White-dwarf is home-grown, very much like slackware. When I configure and make and make install, I don't get any errors, but I when I look for some files

Ok this works: /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -U Administrator \\\\DC1\\C$ <file:///\\\DC1\C$> I can sign in and do normal smbclient stuff. I can't so far figure out how to send a message though. /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -M DC1 /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -M DC1 -I 10.1.0.6 /usr/local/samba/bin/nmblookup DC1 querying DC1 on 10.255.255.255 10.1.0.6 DC1<00>

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

HI, I recently upgraded from SAMBA 2.0.7 to SAMBA 2.2.2. I downloaded the binaries (from samba.org binary packages) for HP UX 10.20. I am able to map drives and print however when I execute smbstatus (even at the root level) I get connections.tdb not initialised. This file does not exist in the /var/opt/samba/locks directory. I changed my log level to 3 to try to see what is going on but

Hi, I have a problem connecting my Windows98 to the Samba server. The Linux computer comes up in the "Network Neighborhood" control panel, but when I double click on the icon, W98 asks for a password for the "\\machine name\IPC$" resource. But my password will not me accepted. I have logged in as user "root" with a given password on both computers. When I set

Hi all... I need to make a few queries to WINS, but am unsure how to do so. 'nmblookup' will allow me to enter an IP address and get information about the machine name, domain, and username. I want to do the opposite...I would like to have a tool that will take a username and return the IP address. I know this information is stored in WINS somehow, and I am capable of writing some Perl

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 someone kindly points me in the right direction I think

Listers, Is the a way to tell SMBCLIENT to broadcast to the entire workgroup instead of having to send to all the individual clients? I've tried smbclient -M workgroup and it failed to resolve anything (which was expected). What Im ultimately wanting to do is set up the proper line in the PPP script to alert the users when the line status changes. Can this be done without to much trouble?
