6=========	======

8docs		(Samba Documentation):
9----		----------------------
10
11	All the Samba documentation for the 3.0 release have been converted to
12	docbook format. Because of this the man pages are now available 
13	in both traditional man page format (in the docs/manpages directory) 
14	and in HTML format (in the docs/htmldocs directory).
15
16	The Samba HOWTO Collection has undergone some rather large changes 
17	and covers all parts of configuration now. It is available 
18	as PDF (docs/Samba3-HOWTO.pdf) or in HTML format (in 
19	the docs/htmldocs directory). Those with the docbook utilities installed 
20	can generate PostScript and text versions of the HOWTO as well.
21
22	The Samba FAQ is still a work in progress, but can be found in 
23	HTML format in docs/htmldocs.

26examples	(Example configuration files):
27--------	------------------------------
28
29	Please pay close attention to the reference smb.conf file
30	smb.conf.default that has now been included as the master guide.
31
32	Do read the smb.conf manual page in considering what settings are
33	appropriate for your site.
34
35
36packaging	(Only for those wishing to build binary distributions):
37---------	-------------------------------------------------------
38
39	Currently support is included for the following Linux Distributions :
40	
41		RedHat and SuSE.
42
43	In addition, packaging support is available for SGI and Solaris systems.
44	We hope that other Unix OS vendors will contribute their binary
45	distribution packaging control files - and we hope to make their binary
46	packages available on the master ftp site under:
47
48		ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/Binary_Packages/"OS_Vendor"
49
50
51source		(The official Samba source files - expect more of these!):
52------		----------------------------------------------------------
53
54	To build your own binary files you will need a suitable ansi C
55	compiler.
56
57	Samba uses the GNU autoconf system. In
58	order to build a default Samba for your platform cd into
59	the source/ directory and then type :
60
61		./configure
62
63	followed by :
64
65		make
66
67	To install the binaries built by the above type :
68
69		make install
70 
71	then set up your configuration files.
72
73	NOTE: OS Vendors who provide Samba binary packages will generally
74	integrate all Samba files into their preferred directory locations.
75	These may differ from the default location ALWAYS used by the Samba
76	sources. Please be careful when upgrading a vendor provided binary
77	distribution from files you have built yourself.
