>COMPONENTS</H2
><P
>The Samba suite is made up of several components. Each
component is described in a separate manual page. It is strongly
recommended that you read the documentation that comes with Samba
and the manual pages of those components that you use. If the
manual pages aren't clear enough then please send a patch or
bug report to <A
HREF="mailto:samba@samba.org"
TARGET="_top"
> samba@samba.org</A
></P

><H2
>AVAILABILITY</H2
><P
>The Samba software suite is licensed under the
GNU Public License(GPL). A copy of that license should
have come with the package in the file COPYING. You are
encouraged to distribute copies of the Samba suite, but
please obey the terms of this license.</P
><P
>The latest version of the Samba suite can be
obtained via anonymous ftp from samba.org in the
directory pub/samba/. It is also available on several
mirror sites worldwide.</P
><P
>You may also find useful information about Samba
on the newsgroup <A
HREF="news:comp.protocols.smb"
TARGET="_top"
> comp.protocol.smb</A
> and the Samba mailing
list. Details on how to join the mailing list are given in
the README file that comes with Samba.</P
><P
>If you have access to a WWW viewer (such as Netscape
or Mosaic) then you will also find lots of useful information,
including back issues of the Samba mailing list, at
<A

then I suggest you join the Samba mailing list at

>.
</P
><P
>If you have patches to submit or bugs to report
then you may mail them directly to samba-patches@samba.org.
Note, however, that due to the enormous popularity of this
package the Samba Team may take some time to respond to mail. We
prefer patches in <B

>CONTRIBUTORS</H2
><P
>Contributors to the project are now too numerous
to mention here but all deserve the thanks of all Samba
users. To see a full list, look at <A
HREF="ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha/change-log"
TARGET="_top"
> ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha/change-log</A
>
for the pre-CVS changes and at <A
HREF="ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha/cvs.log"
TARGET="_top"
> ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha/cvs.log</A
>
for the contributors to Samba post-CVS. CVS is the Open Source
source code control system used by the Samba Team to develop
Samba. The project would have been unmanageable without it.</P
><P
>In addition, several commercial organizations now help
fund the Samba Team with money and equipment. For details see
the Samba Web pages at <A

>AUTHOR</H2
><P
>The original Samba software and related utilities
were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</P
><P
>The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer.
The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
excellent piece of Open Source software, available at
<A
HREF="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/"
TARGET="_top"
> ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</A
>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter</P
