333
334 <para>The original Samba software and related utilities
335 were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
336 by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
337 to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
338
339 <para>The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer.
340 The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
341 excellent piece of Open Source software, available at <ulink url="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/">
342 ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</ulink>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
343 release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
344 Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 for
345 Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.</para>
