+The Samba-Team would like to express sincere thanks to the many people who have with
+or without their knowledge contributed to this update. The size and scope of this
+project would not have been possible without significant community contribution. A not
+insignificant number of ideas for inclusion (if not content itself) has been obtained
+from a number of Unofficial HOWTOs - to each such author a big "Thank-you" is also offered.
+Please keep publishing you Unofficial HOWTO's - they are a source of inspiration and
+application knowledge that is most to be desired by may Samba users and administrators.
