+This is version 1.9 of Samba, the free SMB client and server for unix.
+
+>>>> Please read THE WHOLE of this file as it gives important information
+>>>> about the configuration and use of Samba.
+
+This software is freely distributable under the GNU public license, a
+copy of which you should have received with this software (in a file
+called COPYING). 
+
+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.

+		Announcing Samba version 1.9
+		============================
+
+What is Samba?
+--------------
+
+Samba is a Unix based SMB file server. This allows a Unix host to
+act as a file and print server for SMB clients. This includes
+Lan-Manager compatible clients such as LanManager for DOS, Windows for
+Workgroups, Windows NT, Windows 95, OS/2, Pathworks and many more.
+
+The package also includes a Unix SMB client and a netbios nameserver.
+
+What can it do for me?
+----------------------
+
+If you have any PCs running SMB clients, such as a PC running Windows
+for Workgroups, then you can mount file space or printers from a unix
+host, so that directories, files and printers on the unix host are
+available on the PC.
+
+The client part of the package will also allow you to attach to other
+SMB-based servers (such as windows NT and windows for workgroups) so
+that you can copy files to and from your unix host. The client also
+allows you to access a SMB printer (such as one attached to an OS/2 or
+WfWg server) from Unix, using an entry in /etc/printcap, or by
+explicitly specifying the command used to print files.
+
+What are it's features?
+------------------------
+
+Samba supports many features that are not supported in other SMB
+implementations (all of which are commercial). Some of it's features
+include host as well as username/password security, a unix client,
+automatic home directory exporting, automatic printer exporting, dead
+connection timeouts, umask support, guest connections, name mangling
+and hidden and system attribute mapping. Look at the man pages
+included with the package for a full list of features.
+
+What's new since 1.8?
+---------------------
+
+Lots of stuff. See the change log and man pages for details.
+
+Where can I get a client for my PC?
+-----------------------------------
+
+There is a free client for MS-DOS based PCs available from
+ftp.microsoft.com in the directory bussys/Clients/MSCLIENT/. Please
+read the licencing information before downloading. The built in
+Windows for Workgroups client is also very good.
+
+What network protocols are supported?
+-------------------------------------
+
+Currently only TCP/IP is supported. There has been some discussion
+about ports to other protocols but nothing is yet available.
+
+There is a free TCP/IP implementation for Windows for Workgroups
+available from ftp.microsoft.com (it's small, fast and quite reliable). 
+
+How much does it cost?
+----------------------
+
+Samba software is free software. It is available under the
+GNU Public licence in source code form at no cost. Please read the
+file COPYING that comes with the package for more information.
+
+What flavours of unix does it support?
+---------------------------------------
+
+The code has been written to be as portable as possible. It has been
+"ported" to many unixes, which mostly required changing only a few
+lines of code. It has been run (to my knowledge) on at least these
+unixes:
+
+Linux, SunOS, Solaris, SVR4, Ultrix, OSF1, AIX, BSDI, NetBSD,
+Sequent, HP-UX, SGI, FreeBSD, NeXT, ISC, A/UX, SCO, Intergraph,
+Domain/OS and DGUX.
+
+Some of these have received more testing than others. If it doesn't
+work with your unix then it should be easy to fix.
+
+Who wrote it?
+-------------
+
+Many people on the internet have contributed to the development of
+Samba. The maintainer and original author is Andrew Tridgell, but
+large parts of the package were contributed by several people from all
+over the world. Please look at the file `change-log' for information
+on who did what bits.
+
+Where can I get it?
+-------------------
+
+The package is available via anonymous ftp from nimbus.anu.edu.au in
+the directory pub/tridge/samba/. 
+
+What about SMBServer?
+---------------------
+
+Samba used to be known as SMBServer, until it was pointed out that
+Syntax, who make a commercial Unix SMB based server, have trademarked
+that name. The name was then changed to Samba. Also, in 1992 a very
+early incarnation of Samba was distributed as nbserver.
+
+If you see any copies of nbserver or smbserver on ftp sites please let
+me or the ftp archive maintainer know, as I want to get them deleted.
+
+Where can I get more info?
+---------------------------
+
+Please join the mailing list if you want to discuss the development or
+use of Samba. To join the mailing list send mail to
+[email protected] with a body of "subscribe samba Your
+Name".
+
+There is also an announcement mailing list for new version
+announcements. Subscribe as above but with "subscribe samba-announce
+Your Name".
+
+There is also often quite a bit of discussion about Samba on the
+newsgroup comp.protocols.smb.
+
+A WWW site with lots of Samba info can be found at 
+http://lake.canberra.edu.au/pub/samba/
