Interesting, I have to specify the port?  It worked when I did this, but not
when I omitted "-p 139".  I think I will make a little script to make it
easier to do "echo -n 'message' | smbclient -p 139 -M <machinename>" by
typing "smbpopup <machinename> 'message'" or something like that.

Thanks for the help, Jerry!

Nice credentials list, but I think the best one is the implicit "Switchfoot
