It's not what you want, but this might work.
No comments on the legality of what you want to do.
#!/bin/sh
# grabs the pcname using nmblookup and dumps it to a file.
nmblookup -A $1 | head --lines=2 | tail --lines=1 | awk '{print $1}' pcname
# checks if the filesize is greater than one, which indicates something
# was written to it(like the remote pcname)
if [ `ls -l pcname | awk '{print $5}'` -gt 1 ]; then
echo your statement on fixing | smbclient -U yourname -I $1 -M `cat name`;
else
echo Couldn't find servername(or Mike can't code)
fi;
Call it with ./filename IP, of course.
It'll probably horribly break if it can't find some of this stuff, and my
redirect into a file called pcname is just ugly. So's the head/tail
thing, actually. You can clean it up and add your own error detection.
I'm sure I also won a useless use of cat award too. I'll put it in my
collection.
Someone have a way to clean that up, so it can be done in one chain?

Or I just misinterpreted it. I guess it meant it ignores the netbios names for lookup purposes, but that it's still necessary in order for the host to accept the message. It says that the client will ignore the netbios name, but I guess the server won't accept the message unless the netbios name is correct. I'd bet, though, that if the host is wide open enough to receive a message this way, it's probably enough to be able to use nmblookup to get its netbios name. So the OP could use nmblookup first, and then use that with smbclient's -M, in conjunction with -I. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- As we enjoy great advantages from inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously. --Benjamin Franklin pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Tool for sending Windows popup messages?
So, I had an idea of *something* I could do to try to help fix this Sobig virus problem. Since the sender address is certainly spoofed, I figure the only way to track down the source is from the Received lines in the mail header. I figured that, if their machine is poorly-managed enough for them to get the virus, it might also still be running the Windows Messenger service (or whatever that thing is that lets other people send popup messages to your screen). The problem I'm having is *how* would I send a message like this? I tinkered around with smbclient, but it seemed to want the NetBIOS name of the machine that I was sending to, etc. Basically, all I've got is an IP address and I want to send a popup message to them. I figure that, if people out there are selling software that can do spam popups... it can't be *that* hard to do. Is there some Debian tool that would let me specify an IP and a message and it would handle the delivery without making me bother with finding out the NetBIOS name, etc.? - Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
