You can also get the Samba sourcecode straight from the git repository - see

You could also send hardware/software/money/jewelry or pre-paid pizza
vouchers directly to Andrew. The pizza vouchers would be especially
welcome, in fact there is a special field in the survey for people who
have paid up their pizza :-)
If you like a particular feature then look through the git change-log

who added it, then send them an email.
Remember that free software of this kind lives or dies by the response
we get. If no one tells us they like it then we'll probably move onto

NEWS GROUP
----------
You might also like to look at the usenet news group comp.protocols.smb
as it often contains lots of useful info and is frequented by lots of
Samba users. The newsgroup was initially setup by people on the Samba
mailing list. It is not, however, exclusive to Samba, it is a forum for
discussing the SMB protocol (which Samba implements). The samba list
is gatewayed to this newsgroup.
WEB SITE

A Samba WWW site has been setup with lots of useful info. Connect to:

As well as general information and documentation, this also has searchable
