[Samba] Sending popup message via smbclient to w2k and winxp machines

[Peter Oram]

Copy and paste each line of the script it works. If I run the script using
bogus data from the command line it works. It is only when I get it to run
live that it doesn't. Think I may have missed one point. The script is run
from within another, but is passed all the correct variables for it to work.

Well, I tried your script here and it works fine for me.  There is a typo in
your debugging line (missing a closing double-quote), but apart from that
the message pops up on my WinXP box just as expected.

I'm using Samba 3.0.21rc2.

Does this definitely work if you copy and paste each line into a command
prompt, line by line?

Cheers,
Adam.
