Do you mean the annoying thing to make dialog boxes pop up on other peoples screens in the middle of their work? ;)

I believe that if you install the real SMB unix tool, samba (http://www.samba.org/), you can do this fairly trivially. Its open source and free - I think there's a fink port of it as well.

It is installed by default. see "man smbclient"
 
OK! i got that it is smbclient -M <user> how do i (;)) send it to everyone that is signed on? can i use a * in place of the user?
 
I think you just leave it blank and it will hit the whole subnet. At least that is the way it used to work on OS/2. I am interested if you can actually get that to work. I honestly assumed that those things were disabled in new systems or just simply did not have any way of working from and architectural position.

That is if you are running Samba under Unix or any similar system how would it get access to the display - it shouldn't have those privileges.
