[Bug 923744] Re: smbclient messaging not responding to control-D

[Serge Hallyn]

Thanks for reporting this bug.  Could you verify whether

echo "hello world" > msg.txt
smbclient -U Mark -M WINDOWS-PC < msg.txt

works?

Title:
  smbclient messaging not responding to control-D

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  sharing is working properly from My computer to the windows 7 computer
  generally, I transfer files from Nautilus without difficulty;

  however when I try to smbclient -M to the windows 7 computer, that has
  winsent Innocenti LAN messenger, winpopup compatible, although no
  msg.exe – replacement for net send – in system32, so as far as I know
  windows 7 home premium is thus capable of receiving messages although
  not sending them, it initially connects then seems to ignore the
  control-D 'end of message' code, it's as though smbclient itself is
  not responding. There is no sign that the control-D action is at all
  recognized in smbclient. A control-C works, naturally without sending
  the message though.

  Before I installed Innocenti the smbclient -M command was refusing to
  connect/prompt for a message at all, so it looks as though the windows
  side of it is working at least basically.

  mark at mycomputer:~$ smbclient -U Mark -M WINDOWS-PC
  Enter Mark's password: 
  Type your message, ending it with a Control-D
  Hi there!
