I fixed it this way, it works with Samba 3.0 alpha21, but probably not
the best way :)
[..]
#if SAMBA_VERSION_MAJOR==3
fstrcpy(remote_machine, get_remote_machine_name());
DEBUG(5, ("remote machine is: %s\n", remote_machine));
#endif
[..]
#if SAMBA_VERSION_MAJOR==2
pstrcpy(msg_conv, unix_to_dos(msg));
#elif SAMBA_VERSION_MAJOR==3
push_ascii_pstring(msg_conv, msg);
#endif
Hm, still I have to figure out, how a newline has to be encoded
correctly, as the winpop pane of Win98 shows "text1|text2" instead of
"text1
text2".
