samba - Jan 2009 - samba documentation error

Hello I found an issue with samba documentation on the website and in
the source archive.  The document states to use "-B" with winbindd.
There is not a "-B" option for winbindd... I think it was intended to
be "-D" ?

[root@server source]# /usr/local/samba/sbin/winbindd -B

Invalid option -B: unknown option

Usage: winbindd [-?] [-?SFDinV] [-?|--help] [--usage] [-S|--stdout]
        [-F|--foreground] [--no-process-group] [-D|--daemon] [-i|--interactive]
        [-n|--no-caching] [-d|--debuglevel DEBUGLEVEL]
        [-s|--configfile CONFIGFILE] [-l|--log-basename LOGFILEBASE]
        [-V|--version]


http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/compiling.html#startingSamba
"""
Alternative: Starting smbd as a Daemon

To start the server as a daemon, you should create a script something
like this one, perhaps calling it startsmb.

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D
/usr/local/samba/sbin/winbindd -B
/usr/local/samba/sbin/nmbd -D
"""

Great job on the documentation overall.  I remember 10 years ago it
was much harder to read :)  The HOW-TO's and EXAMPLES are especially
great.
