Thankyou for taking the time to read this ... We have large PC userbase and a not-so-large (but equally loud) Unix user base. We have a requirement to "PopUp" information windows on ALL our user's screens with an absolute minimum of manual intervention (ie type the message once and then forget it). We can manage the Unix X servers but can't seem to find a UNIX application that

Hello ! I am trying to make "Realpopup" (a winpopup like under windows) able to send messages to a Linux machine. The problem is that "Realpopup" sends messages using the MailSlots protocol only. I have heard about an option on the samba-side to enable MailSlots compatibility. However, I have searched in all SAMBA documentation and haven't found anything about it. Can you

Surely someone out there knows how to notify their Windows users that access to their samba server is going to be terminated.... Any help will be *greatly* appreciated. ------ Original Message ------- I would like to shut down samba before I begin my backup routine.

Is there a method of notifying users of a domain about a server or print queue reboot/shutdown/maintenance/problem? Our old Netware servers used to do this, and everyone seems to rely on the fact that they will be told they have X minutes remaining on a power failure, ect. Ideas on this anyone?

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

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 via Microsoft file sharing protocols, using the

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

Hello, I run a Samba 2.2.3a server with XP clients successfully. I am aware of the fact that XP restricts access to some of its users (local) in regards to some programs. I am unsure which programs these are but MSN Messenger might be one of them. I think I heard guest users are not allowed to use MSN Messenger under XP by default. Now I have trouble to get MSN Messenger to start under XP for

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

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
