+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that implements
+the Server Message Block(commenly abbreviated as SMB) protocol for
+UNIX systems\&. This protocol is sometimes also referred to as the
+Common Internet File System (CIFS), LanManager or NetBIOS protocol\&.
+.PP
+.SH "COMPONENTS"
+.PP
+The Samba suite is made up of several components\&. Each component is
+described in a separate manual page\&. It is strongly recommended that
you read the documentation that comes with Samba and the manual pages
-of those components that you use. If the manual pages aren't clear
-enough then please send me a patch!
-
-The
-.BR smbd (8)
-daemon provides the file and print services to SMB clients,
-such as Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT or LanManager. The
-configuration file for this daemon is described in
-.BR smb.conf (5).
-
-The
-.BR nmbd (8)
-daemon provides Netbios nameserving and browsing
-support. It can also be run interactively to query other name service
-daemons.
-
-The
-.BR smbclient (1)
-program implements a simple ftp-like client. This is
-useful for accessing SMB shares on other compatible servers (such as
-WfWg), and can also be used to allow a UNIX box to print to a printer
-attached to any SMB server (such as a PC running WfWg).
-
-The
-.BR testparm (1)
-utility allows you to test your
-.BR smb.conf (5)
-configuration file.

+.SH "CREDITS"
+.PP
+Contributors to the project are now too numerous to mention here but
+all deserve the thanks of all Samba users\&. To see a full list, look at
+ftp://samba\&.anu\&.edu\&.au/pub/samba/alpha/change-log
+for the pre-CVS changes and at
+ftp://samba\&.anu\&.edu\&.au/pub/samba/alpha/cvs\&.log
+for the contributors to Samba post-CVS\&. CVS is the Open Source source
+code control system used by the Samba Team to develop Samba\&. The
+project would have been unmanageable without it\&.
+.PP
+In addition, several commercial organisations now help fund the Samba
+Team with money and equipment\&. For details see the Samba Web pages at
+http://samba\&.anu\&.edu\&.au/samba/samba-thanks\&.html\&.
+.PP
+.SH "AUTHOR"
+.PP
+The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
+Andrew Tridgell \fIsamba-bugs@samba\&.anu\&.edu\&.au\fP\&. Samba is now developed
+by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the
+Linux kernel is developed\&.
+.PP
+The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer\&. The man page
+sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open
+Source software) and updated for the Samba2\&.0 release by Jeremy
+Allison, \fIsamba-bugs@samba\&.anu\&.edu\&.au\fP\&.
