<emphasis>Samba-3 by Example</emphasis> would not have been written except
|
|
as a result of feedback provided by reviewers and readers of the book <emphasis>The
|
|
Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide.</emphasis> This second edition
|
|
was made possible by generous feedback from Samba users. I hope this book
|
|
more than answers the challenge and needs of many more networks that are
|
|
languishing for a better networking solution.

I am deeply indebted to a large group of diligent people. Space prevents
|
|
me from listing all of them, but a few stand out as worthy of mention.

|
Jelmer Vernooij made the notable contribution of building the XML production
|
|
environment and thereby made possible the typesetting of this book.

Samba would not have come into existence if Andrew Tridgell had not taken
|
|
the first steps. He continues to lead the project. Under the shadow of his
|
|
mantle are some great folks who never give up and are always ready to help.

|
Thank you to: Jeremy Allison, Jerry Carter, Andrew Bartlett, Jelmer Vernooij,
|
|
Alexander Bokovoy, Volker Lendecke, and other team members who answered my
|
|
continuous stream of questions &smbmdash; all of which resulted in improved content
|
|
in this book.

Particular mention is due to Lyndell, Amos, and Melissa who gave me the
|
|
latitude necessary to spend nearly an entire year writing Samba documentation,
|
|
and then gave more so this second edition could be created.
