You should put the credit on the opening page, something like:
This is based on the information found here:
https://github.com/thctlo/samba4/blob/master/full-howto-Ubuntu18.04-samba-AD_DC.txt
Putting it at the end, is a bit like the disclaimers at the end of an
email, totally unenforceable and easily miss-able.

I did read it and I knew it was based on Louis's howto within a few
pages, but I had to wait until the last page for the proof.

I would think more of your Samba manual if you had taken Louis's howto,
followed it and written your own notes as you went along, instead of
just typing in what Louis provides. Louis has a felicity of style that
is all his ;-)
