Hello people.
I hope you can help me with something.
I have small home network with SMB sharing.
Problem is next:
My desktop computer has openSuSE(11.2) installed on it, and other 3 computers are 2 MacBooks and one Dell with Vista. Sharing works perfectly and I’m not experiencing any problems with it, but when I try to send console message from a MacBook to a SuSE desktop I have problem.
I used smbclient -m with server address to send the message as ususal and there should be prompt that says something like
smbclient -M 192.168.1.2
message start: ERRSRV - ERRmsgoff (Not receiving messages.)
is there anyway to fix this or any other alternative to chat over network.

This options allows you to send messages, using the “WinPopup”
protocol, to another computer. Once a connection is established you
then type your message, pressing ^D (control-D) to end.
If the receiving computer is running WinPopup the user will receive
the message and probably a beep. If they are not running WinPopup
the message will be lost, and no error message will occur.
So is this WinPopUp running on the PC?

It’s easy e.g. to install an XMPP server and use a Jabber client to chat.

I actually don’t have one, but I’ll give a try to Jabber…
Tnx a lot.
