I would recommend renaming smbd.8.html to smbd_8.html so that standard
browsers and other tools can find the files and render them.

With a script to fix the links in the code, the amount of VMS specific code
that needs to be in SAMBA may be able to be diminished, which makes it easier
to get the VMS releases up to the UNIX levels.
