-<P>See the
-<A HREF="Samba-meta-FAQ.html#introduction">meta FAQ introduction</A> if you don't have any idea what Samba does.</P>
-<P>Samba has many features that are not supported in other CIFS and SMB
-implementations, all of which are commercial. It approaches some
-problems from a different angle.</P>
-<P>Some of its features include:
-<UL>
-<LI>extremely dynamic runtime configuration</LI>
-<LI>host as well as username/password security</LI>
-<LI>scriptable SMB client</LI>
-<LI>automatic home directory exporting</LI>
-<LI>automatic printer exporting</LI>
-<LI>intelligent dead connection timeouts</LI>
-<LI>guest connections</LI>
-</UL>
-</P>
-<P>Look at the
-<A HREF="samba-man-index.html">manual pages</A> included with the package for a full list of
-features. The components of the suite are (in summary):</P>

-<DT><B>smbd</B><DD><P>the SMB server. This handles actual connections from clients,
-doing all the interfacing with the
-<A HREF="Samba-meta-FAQ.html#DomainModeSecurity">authentication database</A> for file, permission and username work.</P>
-
-<DT><B>nmbd</B><DD><P>the NetBIOS name server, which helps clients locate servers,
-maintaining the
-<A HREF="Samba-meta-FAQ.html#BrowseAndDomainDefs">authentication database</A> doing the browsing work and managing
-domains as this capability is being built into Samba.</P>
-
-<DT><B>smbclient</B><DD><P>the scriptable commandline SMB client program.
-Useful for automated work, printer filters and testing purposes. It is
-more CIFS-compliant than most commercial implementations. Note that this
-is not a filesystem. The Samba team does not supply a network filesystem
-driver, although the smbfs filesystem for Linux is derived from
-smbclient code.</P>
-
-<DT><B>smbrun</B><DD><P>a little 'glue' program to help the server run
-external programs.</P>
-
-<DT><B>testprns</B><DD><P>a program to test server access to printers</P>
-
-<DT><B>testparms</B><DD><P>a program to test the Samba configuration file
-for correctness</P>
-
-<DT><B>smb.conf</B><DD><P>the Samba configuration file</P>
-
-<DT><B>examples</B><DD><P>many examples have been put together for the different
-operating systems that Samba supports.</P>
