I forgot the documentation patch. I have attached it below.
I was supprised to see your reference to 3.0 and 2.2.x. I have been
spending the morning trying to figure out which CVS branches those are. As
far as I can tell, 3.0 is the HEAD (and default) branch. But in which
branch is 2.2.x development occuring?
The file <http://samba.org/cvs.html> is still horribly out of date. The
CVS archive now contains dozens of branches, many of them with confusing
names. Is there a list somewhere which explains what they are for and
which ones are active? If not, I would like to start one. Perhaps a link
to it could be placed on the CVS page.
The list archive is missing at the moment, but when it comes back up I
suspect that I could identify a lot of them from there. Some of them I
suspect are Luke's, so he might be able to tell us what they are and
whether they are still active. Does anyone else know of any other sources
of information?

This parameter tells Samba where the printer driver definition file,
used when serving drivers to Windows 95 clients, is to be found. If
