[Samba] sending broadcast messages (-M)

[Noel Kelly]

have a look in the /samba/examples direcotry - there is a Perl script called
wall.pl or something.

it won't work with spaces in the names of groups whihc you typically get
with winbindd (eg: "domain users") in which case you will have to adapt the
regexp to read the netbios names from right to left.  I did this the other
week and have been side tracked since.  Let me know and i can post this if
you need it.

Is it possible to send a broadcast message to all computers in the
workgroup/domain?  I didn't seen an option for smbclient to send a message
to more than one computer.  Basically, I'd like to do something like this:

echo "my message" | smbclient -M * -W WORKGROUP

and have that message popup on all the computers of the WORKGROUP workgroup.

Thanks,
Paul Miller
