As the message box should say, it is "not implemented"

It's actually a limitation in smbclient, I would have happily implemented it 
in the ioslave.

the following patch in samba/source/client/client.c would have been all it 
needed, but the author told me that I'd better use the upcoming libsmb :-/

-BOOL file_exist(char *fname,SMB_STRUCT_STAT *sbuf)
+BOOL file_fifo_exist(char *fname,SMB_STRUCT_STAT *sbuf)
{
  SMB_STRUCT_STAT st;
  if (!sbuf) sbuf = &st;
  
  if (sys_stat(fname,sbuf) != 0) 
    return(False);

-  return (S_ISREG(sbuf->st_mode));
+  return ((S_ISREG(sbuf->st_mode)) ||(S_ISFIFO(sbuf->st_mode)));
}


static void cmd_put(void)
{
....
-   if (!file_exist(lname,&st) &&
+   if (!file_fifo_exist(lname,&st) &&
    (strcmp(lname,"-"))) {
         DEBUG(0,("%s does not exist\n",lname));
         return;
    }

And it would have been that simple to have this ioslave also being able to 
write :-(

I heard several times that the libsmb-based ioslave is currently in a 
not-that-good shape (not to say it crashes everytime you use it).
