+ <title>AUTHOR</title>
+
+ <para>The original Samba software and related utilities
+ were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
+ by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
+ to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
+
+ <para><ulink url="mailto:poultenr@logica.co.uk">Ricky Poulten</ulink>
+ wrote the tar extension and this man page. The <command>smbtar</command>
+ script was heavily rewritten and improved by <ulink
+ url="mailto:Martin.Kraemer@mch.sni.de">Martin Kraemer</ulink>. Many
+ thanks to everyone who suggested extensions, improvements, bug
+ fixes, etc. The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
+ excellent piece of Open Source software, available at <ulink url="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/">
+ ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</ulink>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
+ release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
+ Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 for
+ Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.</para>
