+Samba-3 permits WINS replication through the use of the <filename>wrepld</filename> utility.

+As soon as this tool becomes moderately functional we will prepare man pages and enhance this

+New to Samba-3 is a tool called <filename>winsedit</filename> that may be used to add

+
+<para>
+The development of the winsedit tool was made necessary due to the migration
+of the older style wins.dat file into a new tdb binary backend data store.

-You must use at least the following ...
+In the IT world there is often a saying that all problems are encountered because of
+poor planning. The corrollary to this saying is that not all problems can be anticpated

+Those wishing to migrate from MS Windows NT4 domain control to a Samba-3 domain control

 <para>
-Blah blah objectives here.
+The key objective for most organisations will be to make the migration from MS Windows NT4 
+to Samba-3 domain control as painless as possible. One of the challenges you may experience
+in your migration process may well be one of convincing management that the new environment
+should remain in place. Many who have introduced open source technologies have experienced
+pressure to return to a Microsoft based platform solution at the first sign of trouble. 
+</para>

+<para>
+It is strongly advised that before attempting a migration to a Samba-3 controlled network
+that every possible effort be made to gain all-round commitment to the change. Firstly, you
+should know precisely <emphasis>why</emphasis> the change is important for the organisation.
+Possible motivations to make a change include:

+It is vital that oit be well recognised that Samba-3 is NOT MS Windows NT4. Samba-3 offers
+an alternative solution that is both different from MS Windows NT4 and that offers some
+advantages compared with it. It should also be recognised that Samba-3 lacks many of the
+features that Microsoft has promoted as core values in migration from MS Windows NT4 to 
+MS Windows 2000 and beyond (with or without Active Directory services).
