	the services specified in the configuration file will be 
	available or will operate as expected. </P

>If the optional host name and host IP address are 
	specified on the command line, this test program will run through 
	the service entries reporting whether the specified host
	has access to each service. </P

	by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar

>The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. 
	The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another

	<A

	release by Jeremy Allison.  The conversion to DocBook for 
	Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter</P
