We have squeeze workstations with Gnome and I'm looking for a very simple LAN messanger client to send some information to the users.
It should run with the same user in the background and just pop-up a small window with a information message.
I'm looking for a messanger client, not a chat client.
I'd like to send event notifications as an admin to the users over LAN.
BTW cannot find Ezim in the debian repos.
Any oder idea?
You can setup your own server using any of this XMPP Servers (I use OpenFire, is really easy to implement) and XMPP Clients, for my personal taste I like Pidgin

Ezim is not in the repos. It can be downloaded from sourceforge. It is one tiny jar file, it is java-based.
There are other similar solutions, you might try empathy with avahi etc.
A jabber server is an unnecessary complication in this case.
You dont have to do manually - set up key based ssh authentication and write a script that automatically connects to a list of computers specified in a file and delivers the messages.
where $IPADDR is the ip address of the client, i is 1 ms interval (sends message and exits). ssl is optional, you can even make it o accept only specified certificates etc if you are paranoid.
As per world best web-masters you can use comm100 client chat tools for your website. You can use it in multiple way in same time and many other features available in this software.
