| 2 | <span class="emphasis"><em>Samba-3 by Example</em></span> would not have been written except
|
|---|
| 3 | as a result of feedback provided by reviewers and readers of the book <span class="emphasis"><em>The
|
|---|
| 4 | Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide.</em></span> This second edition
|
|---|
| 5 | was made possible by generous feedback from Samba users. I hope this book
|
|---|
| 6 | more than answers the challenge and needs of many more networks that are
|
|---|
| 7 | languishing for a better networking solution.
|

| 8 | </p><p>
|
|---|
| 9 | I am deeply indebted to a large group of diligent people. Space prevents
|
|---|
| 10 | me from listing all of them, but a few stand out as worthy of mention.
|
|---|
| 11 | Jelmer Vernooij made the notable contribution of building the XML production
|
|---|
| 12 | environment and thereby made possible the typesetting of this book.

|

| 14 | Samba would not have come into existence if Andrew Tridgell had not taken
|
|---|
| 15 | the first steps. He continues to lead the project. Under the shadow of his
|
|---|
| 16 | mantle are some great folks who never give up and are always ready to help.
|
|---|
| 17 | Thank you to: Jeremy Allison, Jerry Carter, Andrew Bartlett, Jelmer Vernooij,
|
|---|
| 18 | Alexander Bokovoy, Volker Lendecke, and other team members who answered my
|
|---|
| 19 | continuous stream of questions all of which resulted in improved content
|
|---|
| 20 | in this book.
|

| 21 | </p><p>
|
|---|
| 22 | My heartfelt thanks go out also to a small set of reviewers (alphabetically
|
|---|
| 23 | listed) who gave substantial feedback and significant suggestions for improvement:
|
|---|
| 24 | Tony Earnshaw, William Enestvedt, Eric Hines, Roland Gruber, Gavin Henry,
|
|---|
| 25 | Steven Henry, Luke Howard, Tarjei Huse, Jon Johnston, Alan Munter, Mike MacIsaac,
|
|---|
| 26 | Scott Mann, Ed Riddle, Geoff Scott, Santos Soler, Misty Stanley-Jones, Mark Taylor,
|
|---|
| 27 | and Jérôme Tournier.
|
|---|
| 28 | </p><p>
|
|---|
| 29 | My appreciation is extended to a team of more than 30 additional reviewers who
|
|---|
| 30 | helped me to find my way around dark corners.
|
|---|
| 31 | </p><p>
|
|---|
| 32 | Particular mention is due to Lyndell, Amos, and Melissa who gave me the
|
|---|
| 33 | latitude necessary to spend nearly an entire year writing Samba documentation,
|
|---|
| 34 | and then gave more so this second edition could be created.
