Here is a posting from one of the team members recently:

he current docs are building out of cvs now once a
day on samba.or (see ~samba-bugs/bin/build_docs)

Here's the RPMS that I had to install to get it working....

When you have all these installed, you need to change into the
samba-docs/docbook directory, then run 'autoconf', then 'make html'

This is not trivial. You can obtain updated documentation from the Samba
Web site. It is now generated every day.
