If you are using the IP, you'll also need the '-I' flag:

smbclient -M -I

Hi
#smbclient -I 10.0.0.3 hello ^D
when I type the message and then to send the message, type ^D, my LinuxBox(rhl 9) only produce the beep sound, but didnt send the message to the destination(10.0.0.3).

Second I want to clear that I want to send messages to the machines running Linux, and since there are some machines running win2k, thus I would like to know how to send messages from Linux to windows machines as well.

But the major task is to send messages from Linux(rhl 9) machine to another Linux(rhl 9) machines

Oh.

You want Linux-to-Linux..

not Linux-to-Windows..

I dunno. I don't use that sort of messaging enough to have tried finding a linux-client equivalent.

rwall works pretty well, if you're able to stomach running that daemon on your servers.

Alternatively, some basic scripting and you should be able to kick off a script that ssh's into a list of hosts and wall's the box.
