	The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell.

	Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way

	the Linux kernel is developed.

        This tool was initially written by Volker Lendecke based on an

        idea by Simon McVittie.
