2.1. How do I download the latest Samba NT Domain Controller code? 

Before continuing, please be aware that the development 
branch of Samba changes very rapidly. Recently there has 
been an avaerage of 20 code check-ins a day.  You've 
been warned!

For general information on accessing the samba source code 
via CVS, see http://cvs.samba.org/cvs.html 

To download the latest Samba Domain Controller source code 

      * Obtain a recent copy of the cvs client binary. The 
	cvs source code is available from
      	ftp://download.cyclic.com/pub/ 
      
      * Now run the following command 

		cvs -d :pserver:cvs at samba.org:/cvsroot login 

      	when you are prompted for a password, enter 
	'cvs' without the quotes. 

      * Now run the command 

		cvs -d :pserver:cvs at samba.org:/cvsroot co samba 

      * To update your source code run the following command 

		cvs update -d -P 

If you want to update the entire archive of the 
main branch code make sure that you are located in 
the top directory of the samba tree ( ie.  the samba 
directory ).




Cheers,
jerry
