Well they are mentioned under "Interdomain Trusts" - but I admit that is
very obtuse.

The use of these tools is documented in the book version of the
Samba-HOWTO-Collection, "The Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide"
available from Amazon.Com. There are 5 chapters that are not in the HOWTO
document - these will be released on April 5th with consent from
Prentice-Hall (the book publisher).

Please send me your patches. If you are not comfortable sending XML
document patches, send me text to apply and I will put rectify the
problem.

Please note that the HOWTO is a green document - this means it is
continually being updated. Each reprinting of the HOWTO book has the
updates in it also.
