[Samba] RPCClient - Shutting down a Windows machine from Linux

Thanks for the suggestion.  I didn't realize I could acheive the same thing
using _net_.  
Unfortunately, I also received similar problems.  Now the error looks like this
when no user is 
logged into the windows machine:

[]# net rpc shutdown -I x.x.x.x -U Administrator 
Password:
[2004/03/23 19:30:18, 0] utils/net_rpc.c:rpc_shutdown_internals(1571)
  Shutdown of remote machine failed!

When a user is logged into Windows, the above error does not appear, and
shutdown occurs as 
usual.

What services other that RemoteProcedureCall are necessary for this in Windows?

Andrew, sorry about the off-list post. Most of my other mailing lists reply-to
