The idea is to be able to execute commands on a win box with the
standard ADMIN$ IPC$ shares available.
SSH is not an option here unfortunately.
I know that the samba team had plans on releasing something like this
last winter but I guess other parts of the project took longer time
than expected.
Hopefully something will be available soon as it would be a very very
helpful tool in bridging between linux servers and Win clients.
Cheers,
Henrik

Hello !
If anybody want`s to implement the psexec unix port or samba
equivalent,
maybe taking a look at xCmd from Zoltan Csizmadia at
http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/I-N/network/remoteinvocation/
article.php/c5433/
may help a LOT and is a very good example. (This one seems to work
similar
like psexec - but it is available with sourcecode!)
I don`t know if the author is still reachable via this mail adress or
if
there is any chance to get some help with "creating the xCMD/psexec
equivalent for linux", but I CC'ed him with this mail to say "thank
you
for
making it and for providing the source".
regards

Subject: [Samba] any plans on getting psexec / cmdat equivalent to
Samba?

Windows admins can make their work easier with a tool like psexec.
It allows to execute commands remotely, without the need to install
anything on the target machine. All that is needed is
username/password
of course.
Unfortunately, psexec command only runs on Windows.
The usage is as follows (we start notepad interactively with -i to
show
that something happens):
psexec \\192.168.1.2 -i -u username -p password notepad
It waits for the command to complete, and returns its exit code, so
can
be used within scripts.
A similar tool we can use with Samba is cmdat, which comes together
with
samba-tng (one just needs to compile samba-tng, and then can use
the
tool with a "regular" Samba).
To start a command on a remote system, we can use (we start notepad
interactively with /interactive to show that something happens):
cmdat -I 192.168.1.2 -U 'username%password' -c 'at now /interactive
notepdad'
Unfortunately, it uses at to start commands (1 minute from the current
time when we use "now"), so we know nothing about the status of the
running command, nor get any exit code. In other words, it's close to
impossible to use it in scripts to do anything useful (other than
starting single commands).
Is any work done in Samba to get a tool similar to psexec?
