Docs/Specs

[Christopher R. Hertel]

Sigh.

There is a small document called "internals", I believe, but it won't be 
very much use.

The problem is that Samba itself is the result of both the docs you've
already found and reverse-engineering work.  That means that we don't
always know why the protocol does what it does, and we also have a moving
target.  That's tough to document.

Best bet is to ask good technical questions.
