321 <para>The original Samba software and related utilities
322 were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
323 by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
324 to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
325
326 <para>The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer.
327 The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
328 excellent piece of Open Source software, available at <ulink url="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/">
329 ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</ulink>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
330 release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
331 Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 for
332 Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.</para>
