similar to: set samba to receive broadcast WinPopUp messages

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

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

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 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=192.201.11.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response

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

Hi There, I'm using Mandrakelinux 10.0 Community, kernel version 2.6 I want to send a message to Windows clients from my Samba 3.0.2a box. Clients are w2k and winxp. If i say in CL $> smbclient -M recipient_machine then recieve error message "session request failed". Here the part of debug log: ------------------------------------ [gri@griff gri]$ smbclient -M serv -d5 ... ...

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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 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,

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
