[...] Please follow the official Samba documentation. Suggest you follow the examples and the step-by-step deployment information in the book "Samba-3 by Example". You can purchase hard copy from Amazon.Com, or download the PDF from: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf If you have a problem with any step, in any chapter of this book please email me the datails so I can improve the documentation. - John T. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
