+This is the Debian Linux prepackaged version of the Samba SMB
+(LAN-Manager) server. Samba was written by Andrew Tridgell
+<Andrew.Tridgell@anu.edu.au> and many others.
+
+This package was put together by Eloy Paris <peloy@debian.org>
+based on previous work by Klee Dienes <klee@debian.org>, 
+Andrew Howell <andrew@it.com.au> and Bruce Perens <bruce@pixar.com>
+from sources found at <URL:ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba>.
+
+As of early in the samba-2.0.0alpha series, the Samba package for Debian
+was split into the following packages:
+
+- samba (the Samba server)
+- smbclient (a LAN Manager client - like the ftp program)
+- swat (Samba Web Administration Tool)
+- smbfs (smbfs userland utilities for kernels > 2.0.x)
+- samba-doc (Samba documentation).
