+>This is the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document for
+Samba, the free and very popular SMB server product. An SMB server
+allows file and printer connections from clients such as Windows,
+OS/2, Linux and others. Current to version 3.0. Please send any
+corrections to the samba documentation mailinglist at
+<A
+HREF="mailto:samba-doc@samba.org"
+TARGET="_top"
+>samba-doc@samba.org</A
+>.
+This FAQ was based on the old Samba FAQ by Dan Shearer and Paul Blackman,
+and the old samba text documents which were mostly written by John Terpstra.</P
