+The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer.
+The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
+excellent piece of Open Source software, available at
+ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
+release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
+Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter
