+
+ <para><command>smbrun</command> is a very small 'glue' program,
+ which runs shell commands for the <ulink url="smbd.8.html"><command>
+ smbd(8)</command></ulink> daemon.</para>
+
+ <para>It first changes to the highest effective user and group
+ ID that it can, then runs the command line provided using the
+ system() call. This program is necessary to allow some operating
+ systems to run external programs as non-root.</para>

+ <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>The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer.
+ 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</para>
