Send popup messages to Windows users

anyone know how to do this with a workgroup or a domain? under windows (yeah i know) the sytax is...
NET SEND {name | * | /DOMAIN[:name] | /USERS} message
any hints? for the record the following is what i tried:
[tibook:~] natef% smbclient -M MORNINGBELL -U YourMaster
Connection to MORNINGBELL failed
[tibook:~] natef% smbclient -M domain:MORNINGBELL -U YourMaster
Connection to domain:MORNINGBELL failed
[tibook:~] natef% smbclient -M apl4evr -U YourMaster
Connected. Type your message, ending it with a Control-D
teehee^D
sent 8 bytes
in this case morningbell is the domain, and apl4evr happens to be the windows 2000 adv server box (a member of morningbell) i was sitting in front of when i tried this.

vacuums do not suck. they merely provide an absence that allows other objects to take the place of what becomes absent.

You can set your workgroup in the Directory Access program in the utilities folder.

As far as I know, you have to be part of the workgroup that you want to send messages to.
