The documentation (and in particular the man pages) given on this web page are taken from the latest development version of Samba. If you are using an earlier version of Samba then you may find some differences.
Contributions are always welcome to Samba documentation. Like everything else concerning Samba, these docs are maintained by members of the Samba community, and any help is much appreciated. Contributions can be simple typo corrections or a write up of new or previously undocumented features.
To get the lastest docs sources from Subversion, run:
svn co svn://svnanon.samba.org/samba-docs/trunk samba-docs
Documentation "patches" can be reported through bugzilla. From the bugzilla home page, select 'Enter a new bug report,' choose the appropriate Samba branch, and finally, on the bug report form, specify 'Docs' in the component menu. Don't forget to attach your documentation fixes against the Docbook XML source files (not the generated man pages).
