sending "WinPopup" message to a user

[William R. Knox]

Russell,
Seeing as you have gotten no response yet, I will lend my uneducated
piece of observational guesswork. The NT machine which I use, when I log
on, registers itself with the WINS server as an 03 resource type (i.e.
able to receive WinPopUp messages) under both the machine name _and_ my
logon name. This is verified by performing an nmblookup -R -U
wins-server 'username#03', which returns a value, as does the same query
with the machine name. So you should be able to use smbclient -M
username and get the message to go to them. Again, this is on my NT
machine - I have no idea if this is standard or freakish behavior.

Good luck!
