message: the samba "how-to" linked on the bottom of the page contains a lot of incorrect information. For example, the explanation of the parameters "bind interfaces only" and "domain master" is just plain wrong. It also advices to set various parameters that are intended for performance tuning and should never be touched by novice uses.
I'm upstream for Samba so I don't feel comfortable removing the link.

thread_title:  Microsoft documentation 

message: At the mention of how the Samba name was introduced I checked that I had /usr/share/dict/words on my Arch Linux () system, and upon discovering that I did, tried the grep command noted, and was met with a rather odd result: my system didn't have "Samba" or "samba" in the list. Doubting the regex, I changed the lowercase 's' to an 'S', which produced the same result. My system is quite recent (well, I do need to update (a bit) - Arch uses a rolling release system), which only makes this all the more amusing. I don't know if this should go into the actual article, and I'd have no idea how to insert it if it was considered a good idea.

message: Should we have something in here about the new developments in Samba 4, and what they have so far managed to achieve in relation to implmenting Active Directory?
I know going into a howto here would be a bit much... But I think some of the information is maybe a bit outdated as to what they are now heading towards?
Thanks guys...
