docs (Samba Documentation):
---- ----------------------
The Samba documentation for the 2.0 release has had all the man pages
converted to YODL source format. Because of this the man pages
are now available in both traditional man page format (in
the doc/manpages directory) and in HTML format (in the
docs/htmldocs directory).
All the Samba documentation for the 3.0 release have been converted to
docbook format. Because of this the man pages are now available
in both traditional man page format (in the docs/manpages directory)
and in HTML format (in the docs/htmldocs directory).
The text documentation files have been moved into a
docs/textdocs directory and are in the (slow) process
of being converted to YODL source format to allow them
to be easily converted to HTML/SGML.
Note in particular two files - docs/textdocs/<your OS>_INSTALL.txt
and docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt.
The Samba HOWTO Collection has undergone some rather large changes
and covers all parts of configuration now. It is available
as PDF (docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf) or in HTML format (in
the docs/htmldocs directory). Those with the docbook utilities installed
can generate PostScript and text versions of the HOWTO as well.
There is the potential for there to be many *INSTALL.txt files, one
for each OS that Samba supports. However we are moving all this into
the new structure. For now, most people will be using UNIX_INSTALL.txt.
Please pay close attention to all the files with a .txt extension
in the docs/textdocs directory. Most problems can be solved by reference
to the two files mentioned.
The FAQ documentation can be accessed starting from Samba-meta-FAQ.html,
in the docs/faq directory. This is incomplete, but to quote from the
abstract, it:
"contains overview information for the Samba suite of programs,
a quick-start guide, and pointers to all other Samba documentation.
Other FAQs exist for specific client and server issues, and HOWTO
documents for more extended topics to do with Samba software."
The Samba FAQ is still a work in progress, but can be found in
HTML format in docs/htmldocs.
