just relized something right after i sent that email. sorry.
I think I can invoke the smbclient on the redhat machine to send windows client popup message.
not sure if that's doable because i am not sending msg from the samba PDC server. there gotta be some rule for this. otherwise, i can harass everyoen on the network with a winpopup message. :)
i will consult the smbclient man page to confirm.
Yes, the idea that Microsoft wouldn't implement a service which is wide open to abuse by anyone in the Universe is certainly amusing.
However, it occurred to me to wonder if something could be done with ICF (Internet Connection Firewall). It would have to stop WinPopup traffic from disallowed IP addresses without interfering with desired SMB traffic.
Some kind of relatively secure messaging service would be a great help to printing services.
