+ <emphasis>Samba-3 by Example</emphasis> would not have been written except
+ as a result of feedback provided by reviewers of the book <emphasis>The
+ Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide.</emphasis> I hope this book
+ more than answers the challenge and fills the void that was brought to
+ my attention.

+ I am deeply indebted to a large group of diligent people. Space prevents
+ me from listing all of them, but a few stand out as worthy of mention.
+ Jelmer Vernooij made the notable contribution of building the XML production
+ environment and thereby made possible the typesetting of this book.

+ Samba would not have come into existence if Andrew Tridgell had not taken
+ the first steps. He continues to lead the project. Under the shadow of his
+ mantle are some great guys who never give up and are always ready to help.
+ Thank you to: Jeremy Allison, Jerry Carter, Andrew Bartlett, Jelmer Vernooij,
+ Alexander Bokovoy, Volker Lendecke, and other team members who answered my
+ continuous stream of questions &smbmdash; all of which resulted in improved content
+ in this book.

+ My appreciation is extended to a team of over 30 additional reviewers who

+ Particular mention is due to Lyndell, Amos and Melissa who gave me the
