similar to: Sending Winpopup messages

If you are not using a domain and have added the users directly with the smbpasswd utility, you can just cat the smbpasswd file. Typically, it's found in /usr/local/samba/private directory. If it's long, you might want to use more (or less). Rick Segeberg Provo Site Manager, IT Department The Waterford Institute rick.segeberg@waterford.org -----Original Message----- From:

Hi all, I have network with few win 95/xp machines and suse 9.3 prof server. On every win client is installed RealPopup (RealPopup homepage: www.realpopup.it). I can send popup message from my xp computer to win 95, and I can get reply on new message addressed from win 95 computer, so looks like popup communication works well. If I use: server:~ # echo "test" | smbclient -M bane

Hello. I'm trying to automate some error reporting on tests run on our labs, and I'd love to pop up messages on the users' screens when that happens. However, some of the computers in question don't have a corresponding <03> section in the PDC's wins.dat file. (Oh: Samba 2.2.8a, under Debian.) Any ideas as to why it wouldn't be there? The clients are all W2K

I don't pretend to be the first, but we have a FreeBSD server for mail and samba here and the other sysadmin types (not me. :-) ) use win95. I thought of this as a quick solution to letting them know when there's a problem. #! /bin/sh WARN() { # Change the next line to be the list of machines to notify for j in zephyr irocz sjrr do echo $@ | /usr/local/bin/smbclient -M $j

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

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

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 updated my Samba from 2.0.7 to 2.2.2. Now the command "smbclient -M <username>" doesn't work anymore. Even <username>#3 doesn't work (where nmblookup finds the correct IP). I know that you have to give a hostname, but I will send messages to users whereever they're logged on. Any hints? Thanx! Jan

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

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>

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

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

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

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 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

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?

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

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
