-
-WHAT CAN SAMBA DO?
-==================
-
-Here is a very short list of what samba includes, and what it does
-
-- a SMB server, to provide LanManager style file and print services to PCs
-
-- a Netbios (rfc1001/1002) nameserver
-
-- a ftp-like SMB client so you can access PC resources (disks and
-printers) from unix
-
-- a tar extension to the client for backing up PCs
-
-Related packages include:
-
-- ksmbfs, a linux-only filesystem allowing you to mount remote SMB
-filesystems from PCs on your linux box
-
-- tcpdump-smb, a extension to tcpdump to allow you to investigate SMB
-networking problems over netbeui and tcp/ip
-

-CONTRIBUTIONS
-=============
-
-If you want to contribute to the development of the software then
-please join the mailing list. I accept patches (preferably in
-"diff -u" format) and am always glad to receive feedback or suggestions.
-
-You could also send hardware/software/money/jewelry or pizza
-vouchers directly to me. The pizza vouchers would be especially
-welcome :-)
-
-If you like a particular feature then look through the change-log and
-see who added it, then send them an email.
-
-Remember that free software of this kind lives or dies by the response
-we get. If noone tells us they like it then we'll probably move onto
-something else.
