Hi All, The Samba-Team are now working hard to complete Samba-3.0.0 in preparation for release. Over the past 3 months we have also been working hard to write and deliver the best documentation we can to help those who may want to deploy Samba-3. There are a few area where the documentation is lacking. If you have any pointers or background or experience you feel may be of value to others then please send it to me for inclusion in the new HOWTO document. Look at it this way: All of us at one time or another discover something that could have saved us a lot of time. If you can identify something like that - I am sure others can benefit from you sharing it. The following areas have not been covered: If you can help, please do Backing Up and Restoring Samba shares DNS and DHCP Configuration FastStart Hints High Availability Performance Tuning MS Windows Client Configuration Upgrading from samba-2.x to samba-3.0.0 Please help to make this release of Samba the best community effort to date. Let's see what we can do to exceed all previous release standards. It can happen, but it will only if you help to make it so. Your efforts and contributions are measurably needed. Thanks. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: jht@samba.org
