+.TH SAMBA 7 29/3/95 Samba Samba
+.SH NAME
+Samba \- a LanManager like fileserver for Unix
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B Samba
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B Samba
+software suite is a collection of programs that implements the SMB
+protocol for unix systems. This protocol is sometimes also referred to
+as the LanManager or Netbios protocol.
+
+.SH COMPONENTS
+
+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 me a patch!
+
+The smbd(8) daemon provides the file and print services to SMB clents,
+such as Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT or LanManager. The
+configuration file for this daemon is described in smb.conf(5).
+
+The nmbd(8) daemon provides Netbios nameserving and browsing
+support. It can also be run interactively to query other name service
+daemons.
+
+The smbclient(1) program implements a simple ftp-like client. This is
+useful for accessing SMB shares on other compatible servers (such as
+WfWg), and can also be used to allow a unix box to print to a printer
+attached to any SMB server (such as a PC running WfWg).
+
+The testparm(1) utility allows you to test your smb.conf(5)
+configuration file.
+
+The smbstatus(1) utility allows you to tell who is currently using the
+smbd(8) server.
+
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+
+The Samba software suite is licensed under the Gnu Public License. A
+copy of that license should have come with the package. You are
+encouraged to distribute copies of the Samba suite, but please keep it
+intact.
+
+The latest version of the Samba suite can be obtained via anonymous
+ftp from samba.anu.edu.au in the directory pub/samba/. It is
+also available on several mirror sites worldwide.
+
+You may also find useful information about Samba on the newsgroup
+comp.protocols.smb and the Samba mailing list. Details on how to join
+the mailing list are given in the README file that comes with Samba.
+
+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 http://samba.canberra.edu.au/pub/samba/
+
+.SH AUTHOR
+
+The main author of the Samba suite is Andrew Tridgell. He may be
+contacted via e-mail at samba-bugs@anu.edu.au.
+
+There have also been an enourmous number of contributors to Samba from
+all over the world. A partial list of these contributors is included
+in the CREDITS section below. The list is, however, badly out of
+date. More up to date info may be obtained from the change-log that
+comes with the Samba source code.
+
+.SH CONTRIBUTIONS
+
+If you wish to contribute to the Samba project, then I suggest you
+join the Samba mailing list.
+
+If you have patches to submit or bugs to report then you may mail them
+directly to samba-bugs@anu.edu.au. Note, however, that due to the
+enourmous popularity of this package I may take some time to repond to
+mail. I prefer patches in "diff -u" format.
