echo "$message" >> /tmp/samba-smbinfo


In smb.conf:

[public]
   comment = public directory on vmeis
   path = /public
   public = yes
   create mode = 0777
   directory mode = 0777
   browseable = yes
   writable = yes
   oplocks = no
   level2 oplocks = no
   blocking locks = no
   preexec = echo "\"T %T \" \"d %d \" \"v %v \" \"h %h \" \"L %L \"
\"N %N \"
                   \"p %p \" \"R %R \" \"S %S \" \"P %P \" \"U %U \"
\"G %G \"
                   \"u %u \" \"g %g \" \"H %H \" \"I %I \" \"M %M \"
\"m %m \"
                   \"a %a \"" | xargs -n1
/usr/local/bin/samba-smbinfo;\
             smbclient -U "eisfair Samba Server" -M %m
</tmp/samba-smbinfo;\
             rm -f /tmp/samba-smbinfo &
   vfs object = /usr/lib/samba/vscan-oav.so
   vfs options = config-file = /etc/vscan-oav.conf

The echo statement till "/usr/local/bin/samba-smbinfo;\" is one line.
Note that the file /tmp/samba-smbinfo holds the information and
smbclient sends this to the client. In my case this file will be
deleted after sending.

Sorry @all for the long lines (84 chars) in my message.
