[Samba] Remote shutdown+poweroff of W2K server (new issue: --comment arg not work)

[Nathan Vidican]

Just a note on rpc shutdown command, but the --comment/-c argument does not 
work, given the following example:

/server/samba/bin/net rpc -n ADMINPC --server=WMPCSE -U Administrator -t 90 
shutdown

(Works, asks first for password, then sends shutdown which DOES shutdown 
machine 'WMPCSE' with 90 second timeout)

/server/samba/bin/net rpc -n ADMINPC --server=WMPCSE -U Administrator -t 
90 --comment="Simple string comment" shutdown

(DOES NOT WORK, Returns as below)

[2005/07/25 10:23:45, 0] utils/net_rpc.c:rpc_shutdown_internals(4113)
  Shutdown of remote machine failed!

No matter the machine, the timeout, nor the username/source machine name 
used, as soon as I attempt to send net rpc shutdown with a comment, the 
comment is not displayed and the command does not work.

It's probably just a flag we are missing in the
'net rpc shutdown'request.  Do you have a windows tool
that will do the rmeote shutdown and power off correctly ? Could you send me 
an ethereal trace of that ?  Or tell me which tool to use in testing.
