        Samba is a big, complex project. The Samba project is ambitious and exciting.

        The team behind Samba is a group of some thirty individuals who are spread
21

        the world over and come from an interesting range of backgrounds. This team

        There is admittedly a large number of Samba books on the market today and
50
50
        each book has its place. Despite the apparent plethora of books, Samba
51
51
        as a project continues to receive much criticism for failing to provide
80

        on the mailing lists or elsewhere, may be aware that this is a labor
81

        are very different from that of the UNIX administrator. This book has been
