Hi Samba team, In the release notes of 4.21 a new setting "sync machine password script" is mentioned and? it says "Check in smb.conf(5)", so that is what I am trying to do... When I browse to https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/smb.conf.5.html, it turns out that above parameter is not mentioned on this page. My guess is that something is broken in the release scripting. When I go to the page https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/, at the top of the page there is a list of released versions. It reads: " current 4.17 4.16 4.15 4.14 4.13 4.12 4.11 4.10 4.9 4.8 4.7 4.6 4.5 4.4 4.3 4.2 4.1 4.0 3.6 3.5 3.4 3.3 3.2", this makes me think that the delivery of man-pages failed as of 4.18 and "current" is in fact 4.17. I would be very handy to have 4.21 man-pages here as well. Can somebody have a look at the delivery process for these docs? - Kees.

I have to ask though, what is wrong with opening a terminal on the Samba server, typing 'man smb.conf' and pressing 'Enter' ? Rowland
