I don't mind if it is renamed to samba, although perhaps sambad would
be more in line with conventions?
I also think the various config/status utils could do with a
rename. One possible approach would be:
sambad - main daemon
samba - status/config tool. Replacing 'net', 'smbstatus', 'testparm' etc
So admins would run "samba status" to get status. They would run
"samba config show" to do what testparm does.
Cheers, Tridge
