How to ask a windows client...

[dobos_s at IBCnet.hu]

I tried this, but on machine where the user logged in only locally (eg.
local Administrator)
there is no <03> line of him.
On the other side is this netbios method reliable?
I thought something like RPC mechanism...

Run this from linux:


nmblookup -A ip_address_of_client


This produces a listing of an NT 4.0 client like this:


[root at r1c1n129 bin]# nmblookup -A 10.10.101.96
Looking up status of 10.10.101.96
        ESH             <00> -         M <ACTIVE>
        CENTRAL         <00> - <GROUP> M <ACTIVE>
        ESH             <03> -         M <ACTIVE>
        ESH             <20> -         M <ACTIVE>
        CENTRAL         <1e> - <GROUP> M <ACTIVE>
        ANDREWE         <03> -         M <ACTIVE>


Machine (the "<20>" 'fileserver' listing): ESH
Domain (the "<1e> - <GROUP>" 'normal group name' listing): CENTRAL
User (the "<03>" 'messenger service' listing that doesn't match the machine
name): ANDREWE

Hi!


Can somebody tell me wether is it possible some way to ask windows
nt/2000/xp machines
from linux side about who is currently logged in?
Like identd for example, but with some builtin windows mechanisms?


Sorry, I didnt spent time with reading docs because I am in hurry, so rtfm
with some links
are welcomed :-)


Please CC to me too.
