Hi Samba team,

In the release notes of 4.21 a new setting "sync machine password 
script" is mentioned and  it says "Check in smb.conf(5)", so that is 
what I am trying to do...

When I browse to 
https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/smb.conf.5.html, it 
turns out that above parameter is not mentioned on this page.


My guess is that something is broken in the release scripting. When I go 
to the page https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/, at the top of the 
page there is a list of released versions.
It reads: " current 4.17 4.16 4.15 4.14 4.13 4.12 4.11 4.10 4.9 4.8 4.7 
4.6 4.5 4.4 4.3 4.2 4.1 4.0 3.6 3.5 3.4 3.3 3.2", this makes me think 
that the delivery of man-pages failed as of 4.18 and "current" is in 
fact 4.17.


I would be very handy to have 4.21 man-pages here as well.

Can somebody have a look at the delivery process for these docs?


- Kees.
