+We all make mistakes. It is Ok to make mistakes, so long as they are made in the right places
+and at the right time. A mistake that causes lost productivity is seldom tollerated. A mistake
+made in a developmental test lab is expected.

+<para>
+Here we look at common mistakes and misapprehensions that have been the subject of discussions
+on the samba mailing lists. Many of these are avoidable by doing you homework before attempting
+a Samba implementation. Some are the result of misundertanding of the English language. The
+English language has many terms of phrase that are potentially vague and may be highly confusing
+to those for whom English is not their native tongue.

+<title>What makes Samba a SERVER?</title>
+
+<para>
+To some the nature of the samba <emphasis>security</emphasis> mode is very obvious, but entirely
+wrong all the same. It is assumed that <emphasis>security = server</emphasis> means that Samba
+will act as a server. Not so! See above - this setting means that samba will <emphasis>try</emphasis>
+to use another SMB server as it's source of user authentication alone.

+The &smb.conf; parameter <emphasis>security = domain</emphasis> does NOT really make Samba behave
