+manpagedescription()
+
+The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that implements
+the Server Message Block(commenly abbreviated as SMB) protocol for
+UNIX systems. This protocol is sometimes also referred to as the
+Common Internet File System (CIFS), LanManager or NetBIOS protocol.
+
+manpagesection(COMPONENTS)
+
+The Samba suite is made up of several components. Each component is
+described in a separate manual page. It is strongly recommended that
+you read the documentation that comes with Samba and the manual pages
+of those components that you use. If the manual pages aren't clear
+enough then please send a patch to email(samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au).

+
+dit(bf(smbd)) nl() The bf(smbd) (8) daemon provides the file and print
+services to SMB clients, such as Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows
+for Workgroups or LanManager. The configuration file for this daemon
+is described in bf(smb.conf) (5).
+
+dit(bf(nmbd)) nl() The bf(nmbd) (8) daemon provides NetBIOS
+nameserving and browsing support. The configuration file for this
+daemon is described in bf(smb.conf) (5).
+
+dit(bf(smbclient)) nl() The bf(smbclient) (1) program implements a simple
+ftp-like client. This is useful for accessing SMB shares on other
+compatible servers (such as Windows NT), and can also be used to allow
+a UNIX box to print to a printer attached to any SMB server (such as a
+PC running Windows NT).
+
+dit(bf(testparm)) nl() The bf(testparm) (1) utility allows you to test your
+bf(smb.conf) (5) configuration file.
+
+dit(bf(smbstatus)) nl() The bf(smbstatus) (1) utility allows you to tell
+who is currently using the bf(smbd) (8) server.
+
+dit(bf(nmblookup)) nl() the bf(nmblookup) (1) utility allows NetBIOS
+name queries to be made from the UNIX machine.

+
+manpagesection(AVAILABILITY)
+
+The Samba software suite is licensed under the GNU Public License
+(GPL). A copy of that license should have come with the package in the
+file COPYING. You are encouraged to distribute copies of the Samba
+suite, but please keep obey the terms of this license.
+
+The latest version of the Samba suite can be obtained via anonymous
+ftp from samba.anu.edu.au in the directory pub/samba/. It is
+also available on several mirror sites worldwide.
+
+You may also find useful information about Samba on the newsgroup
+comp.protocols.smb and the Samba mailing list. Details on how to join
+the mailing list are given in the README file that comes with Samba.
+
+If you have access to a WWW viewer (such as Netscape or Mosaic) then
+you will also find lots of useful information, including back issues
+of the Samba mailing list, at
+url(http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/)(http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/).
+
+manpagesection(VERSION)
+
+This man page is current for version 2.0 of Samba
+
+manpagesection(CONTRIBUTIONS)
+
+If you wish to contribute to the Samba project, then I suggest you
+join the Samba mailing list at email(samba@samba.anu.edu.au). See the
+Web page at
+url(http://samba.anu.edu.au/listproc)(http://samba.anu.edu.au/listproc)
+for details on how to do this.
+
+If you have patches to submit or bugs to report then you may mail them
+directly to email(samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au). Note, however, that due to
+the enormous popularity of this package the Samba Team may take some
+time to repond to mail. We prefer patches in em(diff -u) format.
+
+manpagesection(AUTHOR)
+
+The main author of the Samba suite is Andrew Tridgell. He may be
+contacted via e-mail at email(samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au). Samba is
+now maintained by a distributed group of people around the world
+collectively known as the Samba Team.
+
+manpagesection(CREDITS)
+
+Contributors to the project are now too numerous to mention here but
+all deserve the thanks of all Samba users. To see a full list, look at
+url(ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/change-log)(ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/change-log)
+for the pre-CVS changes and at
+url(ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/cvs.log)(ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/alpha/cvs.log)
+for the contributors to Samba post-CVS. CVS is the Open Source source
+code control system used by the Samba Team to develop Samba. The
+project would have been unmanageable without it.
+
+In addition, several commercial organisations now help fund the Samba
+Team with money and equipment. For details see the Samba Web pages at
+url(http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/samba-thanks.html)(http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/samba-thanks.html).

+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) and updated for the Samba2.0 release by Jeremy
+Allison.
