[Samba] smbclient -M/session request failed

[Malte.Neubecker at computacenter.com]

Hi Folks!

I try to send a popup via "smbclient -M" from a sun (SunOS 5.8, Samba
2.0.7, hostname "sonne") to a WinXP (hostname "dezntmneubeck_x") but it
fails. Both machines are in the same physical network. All I get are the
following lines:

root at sonne(1017)/> smbclient -s /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf -M dezntmneubeck_x
added interface ip=193.102.105.71 bcast=193.102.105.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
session request failed

I succeded to send a popup from the mentioned Sun to other XP machines.
They are clones from my dezntmneubeck_x and differ in name, IP Number,
Windows SID and some user specific settings, not related to the network or
services.
I also succeded to send a popup from other WinPC's to my XP dezntmneubeck_x
via "c:> net send".

Maybe, a debug helps to analyse it:
root at sonne(1018)/> smbclient -s /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf -M dezntmneubeck_x -d 10
added interface ip=193.102.105.71 bcast=193.102.105.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

Do you have in idea how to make it run?
Thanks in advance.
