Making broadcast settings

Notes for Linux
The forwarding service uses the database under /var/run/utmp (utmp(5))
to obtain information on the connected users and the type of the session
(GUI or CLI). All sessions (local or remote) should therefore be correctly
registered in the utmp database.
With SuSE Linux and RedHat Linux, the KDE session does not make any
utmp entries via the console or the emulation that is started with it.
Forwarded alarm messages are therefore not output in these windows.
These restrictions do not apply to the GNOME sessions with SuSE Linux
and RedHat Linux, or for KDE sessions with Caldera OpenLinux.
Notes for Windows
Forwarding with broadcast can fail on account of disruptions to the
Windows Messenger Service used. You can check this with the net send
command.
