.SH NAME
-Samba \- a LanManager like fileserver for UNIX
+SAMBA \- A Windows SMB/CIFS fileserver for UNIX
.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B Samba
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.B Samba
-software suite is a collection of programs that implements the SMB
-protocol for UNIX systems. This protocol is sometimes also referred to
-as the LanManager or Netbios protocol.
-.SH COMPONENTS
-
-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.
-
-The
-.BR smbstatus (1)
-utility allows you to tell who is currently using the
-.BR smbd (8)
-server.
-.SH AVAILABILITY
-
-The Samba software suite is licensed under the Gnu Public License. A
-copy of that license should have come with the package. You are
-encouraged to distribute copies of the Samba suite, but please keep it
-intact.
-
-The latest version of the Samba suite can be obtained via anonymous
-ftp from samba.anu.edu.au in the directory pub/samba/. It is
-also available on several mirror sites worldwide.
-
-You may also find useful information about Samba on the newsgroup
-comp.protocols.smb and the Samba mailing list. Details on how to join
-the mailing list are given in the README file that comes with Samba.
-
-If you have access to a WWW viewer (such as Netscape or Mosaic) then
-you will also find lots of useful information, including back issues
-of the Samba mailing list, at http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/
-.SH AUTHOR
-
-The main author of the Samba suite is Andrew Tridgell. He may be
-contacted via e-mail at samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au.
-
-There have also been an enormous number of contributors to Samba from
-all over the world. A partial list of these contributors is included
-in the CREDITS section below. The list is, however, badly out of
-date. More up to date info may be obtained from the change-log that
-comes with the Samba source code.
-.SH CONTRIBUTIONS
-
-If you wish to contribute to the Samba project, then I suggest you
-join the Samba mailing list.
-
-If you have patches to submit or bugs to report then you may mail them
-directly to samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au. Note, however, that due to the
-enormous popularity of this package I may take some time to repond to
-mail. I prefer patches in "diff \-u" format.

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The Samba software suite is a collection of programs

+also referred to as the Common Internet File System (CIFS). For a
+more thorough description, see http://www.ubiqx.org/cifs/ <URL:http://www.ubiqx.org/cifs/>. Samba also implements the NetBIOS
+protocol in nmbd.
+.TP
+\fBsmbd\fR
+The \fBsmbd \fR
+daemon provides the file and print services to
+SMB clients, such as Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows

+for this daemon is described in \fIsmb.conf\fR
+.TP
+\fBnmbd\fR

+daemon provides NetBIOS nameservice and browsing
+support. The configuration file for this daemon
+is described in \fIsmb.conf\fR
+.TP
+\fBsmbclient\fR
+The \fBsmbclient\fR
+program implements a simple ftp-like client. This
+is useful for accessing SMB shares on other compatible
+servers (such as Windows NT), 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 Windows NT).
+.TP
+\fBtestparm\fR
+The \fBtestparm\fR
+utility is a simple syntax checker for Samba's
+\fIsmb.conf\fRconfiguration file.
+.TP
+\fBtestprns\fR
+The \fBtestprns\fR
+utility supports testing printer names defined
+in your \fIprintcap\fR file used
+by Samba.
+.TP
+\fBsmbstatus\fR
+The \fBsmbstatus\fR
+tool provides access to information about the
+current connections to \fBsmbd\fR.
+.TP
+\fBnmblookup\fR
+The \fBnmblookup\fR
+tools allows NetBIOS name queries to be made
+from a UNIX host.
+.TP
+\fBmake_smbcodepage\fR
+The \fBmake_smbcodepage\fR
+utility provides a means of creating SMB code page
+definition files for your \fBsmbd\fR server.
+.TP
+\fBsmbpasswd\fR
+The \fBsmbpasswd\fR
+command is a tool for changing LanMan and Windows NT
+password hashes on Samba and Windows NT servers.
+.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 and documents aren't clear enough then please visit
+http://devel.samba.org <URL:http://devel.samba.org/>
+for information on how to file a bug report or submit a patch.
+.PP
+If you require help, visit the Samba webpage at
+http://www.samba.org/ <URL:http://samba.org/> and
+explore the many option available to you.
+.SH "AVAILABILITY"
+.PP
+The Samba software suite is licensed under the
+GNU Public License(GPL). A copy of that license should
+have come with the package in the file COPYING. You are
+encouraged to distribute copies of the Samba suite, but
+please obey the terms of this license.
+.PP
+The latest version of the Samba suite can be
+obtained via anonymous ftp from samba.org in the
+directory pub/samba/. It is also available on several
+mirror sites worldwide.
+.PP
+You may also find useful information about Samba
+on the newsgroup comp.protocol.smb <URL:news:comp.protocols.smb> and the Samba mailing
+list. Details on how to join the mailing list are given in
+the README file that comes with Samba.
+.PP
+If you have access to a WWW viewer (such as Netscape
+or Mosaic) then you will also find lots of useful information,
+including back issues of the Samba mailing list, at
+http://lists.samba.org <URL:http://lists.samba.org/>.
+.SH "VERSION"
+.PP
+This man page is correct for version 2.2 of the
+Samba suite.
+.SH "CONTRIBUTIONS"
+.PP
+If you wish to contribute to the Samba project,
+then I suggest you join the Samba mailing list at
+http://lists.samba.org <URL:http://lists.samba.org/>.
+.PP
+If you have patches to submit, visit
+http://devel.samba.org/ <URL:http://devel.samba.org/>
+for information on how to do it properly. We prefer patches in
+\fBdiff -u\fR format.
+.SH "CONTRIBUTORS"
+.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.org/pub/samba/alpha/change-log <URL:ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha/change-log>
+for the pre-CVS changes and at ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha/cvs.log <URL:ftp://samba.org/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 organizations now help
+fund the Samba Team with money and equipment. For details see
+the Samba Web pages at http://samba.org/samba/samba-thanks.html
+.SH "AUTHOR"
+.PP
+The original Samba software and related utilities
+were created by Andrew Tridgell. 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, available at
+ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
+release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
+Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter
