When a new version of Samba is posted, is the HOWTO COllection updated, or does the Samba Team rely on the community to spot anachronisms and report them as bugs? I'm struggling with a new install of Samba that's more complex than I've tried before, and I keep the two Samba dead-tree books open on my desk -- but if the online docs in the tarball are more current than the books, these heavy things are going up on my shelf!

I asked about the currency of the HTML & PDF documentation over printed editions. Never mind -- the Docs page of the Samba web site says plainly that the electronic versions are current. Mea culpa, I suck. -wde -- Will Enestvedt UNIX System Administrator Johnson & Wales University -- Providence, RI> -----Original Message----- > Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2005 9:57 AM > To: samba@lists.samba.org > Subject: [Samba] How current is the HOWTO collection? > > > When a new version of Samba is posted, is the HOWTO > COllection updated, > or does the Samba Team rely on the community to spot anachronisms and > report them as bugs? > I'm struggling with a new install of Samba that's more complex than > I've tried before, and I keep the two Samba dead-tree books open on my > desk -- but if the online docs in the tarball are more > current than the > books, these heavy things are going up on my shelf! > Thanks. > -wde > -- > Will Enestvedt > UNIX System Administrator > Johnson & Wales University -- Providence, RI > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba >

The PDFs on our web site are more up to date than the printed book. The documentation in each release should be up to date.> I'm struggling with a new install of Samba that's more complex than > I've tried before, and I keep the two Samba dead-tree books open on my > desk -- but if the online docs in the tarball are more current than the > books, these heavy things are going up on my shelf!The PDFs and the Web versions of both books were updated before 3.0.11 shipped. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Samba-Team Member Phone: +1 (650) 580-8668 Author: The Official Samba-3 HOWTO & Reference Guide, ISBN: 0131453556 Samba-3 by Example, ISBN: 0131472216 Hardening Linux, ISBN: 0072254971 Other books in production.
