Unfortunately, looking through the code tree and the ftp server I have
not found it! (Perhaps in CVS?)
I hope you will not be too annoyed if I ask silly questions in future,
but samba is really a monster to understand from scratch both because M$
does not give clear docs as you pointed and both because the project has
grown quite a lot in time.
Have you ever thought of splitting the code in smaller modules and load
them at runtime if needed?
