AW: [Samba] Sending message to connected users ?

2004-05-14 Thread Arno Seidel
Hi Mike,

there is a simple way for that.
you can use the smbclient on your linux system.

f.e. smbclient -M Computer
sends a message to the PC with the netbiosname Computer.


regards
Arno

 Hi,

 Is there any simple way to send messages to all users who are
 connected to my Samba server.

 I've just a basic fileserver setup  (in a workgroup not Domain)
 all clients are using Win2k and mapping to shares.  I'd like to
 be able to send them a popup message from the Linux console (or
 my PC, or somewhere !) to let them know when I'm intending to
 reboot the server !

 Slackware Linux (8.0)
 Samba 2.2.8a

Hi Mike,

hm if you are good in Shell-Programming you could
write a script which excludes from the /var/lib/samba/browse.dat
(ascii-textfile)
the active pc´s and sends them a message.

Arno

 Thanks Arno... I'd looked at smbclient and completely missed that
 command !

 Seems to work OK for some of the users but strangely it can't resolve my
 PC's netbios name !  I'll need to check some other settings I suppose.

 Is there a way of sending to ALL users at once ?

 ATB

 Mike
