pop-up messages

[Dragos]

Hi

I have a Linux machine (RH 6.2) with samba 2.0.6 installed and a NT domain (PDC is a Win NT Server 4.0 SP 6).I haven't joined the NT domain (called domain1) yet (the network administrator didn't make the server account that I need ...)

Problem1: I cannot receive pop-up-like messages sent from Windoze machines that are in the domain (from Linux machine I can send 'em messages ok with smbclient -M .....). I placed an entry like this in my smb.conf

[global]
...............................
message command = /bin/bash -c 'xedit %s; rm %s' &
but it doesn't seem to work (nothing happens when a Windoze machine sends a message to the Linux machine even if after sending the message win pop-up issues "The message was sent successfully"). If it reaches my Linux machine where is it stored ??? I don't think that joining the domain has smth. to do with this problem.

Problem2: why when sending a message to a windoze machine win pop-up reports that the message was sent by root or any other user I log in with instead of the NetBios name that I specified in smb.conf ?? Obviously if they try to reply to "root" or whatever except for the NetBios name in smb.conf they receive a message saying that root cannot be found .........

Problem3: I cannot browse or make use of any of the services shared by the windoze machines. Is this 'cause I didn't join the domain ? (they can do whatever I allowed 'em to do with my shared service) 

What is wrong or missing in my smb.conf ???

below there is my smb.conf file
