hi mayday,
try emerging net-im/linpopup. it's using samba to send messages to windows boxes.
best regards,
marc
otherwise you can use kopete. imho there is a plugin to send those messages

I believe you are looking for:
| Code: | | smbclient -M computername -U username |
The -M option tells smbclient to send a message to the computer "computername" and the -U option tells smbclient to send it from "username" (if you wish to change the sender name).
More details available in:
as mentioned before.
