Gary,

Did you check out the Samba web site?

Maybe our documentation is not sufficiently promenant. Sigh!

Check out:
	http://us1.samba.org/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf

You might also check out Amazon.Com:
	The Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide
or
	Samba-3 by Example

Please let me know if you need more information.

Cheers,
John T.
