From a small project used only by people who dream in +machine code, Samba has grown to be an integral part of the IT +infrastructure of many businesses. Along with the growth in the +popularity of Samba there has been a corresponding growth in the ways +that it can be used, and a similar growth in the number of +configuration options and the interactions between them. +</para> + +<para> +To address this increasing complexity a wealth of documentation has +been written on Samba, including numerous HOWTOs, diagnostic tips, +manual pages, and explanations of important pieces of technology that +Samba relies on. While it has been gratifying to see so much +documentation being written, the sheer volume of different types of +documentation has proved difficult to navigate, thus reducing its +value to system administrators trying to cope with the complexity. +</para> + +<para> +This book gathers together that wealth of information into a much more +accessible form, to allow system administrators to quickly find what +they need. The breadth of technical information provided ensures that +even the most demanding administrators will find something helpful. +</para> + +<para> +I am delighted that the Samba documentation has now developed to the +extent that it can be presented usefully as a book, and I am grateful +for the efforts of the many people who have contributed so much +toward this result.
