+.SH INSTALLATION
+The location of the server and its support files is a matter for individual

+
+It is recommended that the
+.B smbstatus
+program be installed under the /usr/local/samba hierarchy, in a directory readable
+by all, writeable only by root. The program itself should be executable by all.
+.SH VERSION
+This man page is (mostly) correct for version 1.9.00 of the Samba suite, plus some
+of the recent patches to it. These notes will necessarily lag behind 
+development of the software, so it is possible that your version of 
+the program has extensions or parameter semantics that differ from or are not 
+covered by this man page. Please notify these to the address below for 
+rectification.
