 180         <para>Any dynamically linked command you execute from
 181         this shell will access the <filename>/smb</filename> directory
 182         using the smb protocol. For example, the command <command>ls /smb
 183         </command> will show a list of workgroups. The command
 184         <command>ls /smb/MYGROUP </command> will show all the machines in
 185         the  workgroup MYGROUP. The command
 186         <command>ls /smb/MYGROUP/&lt;machine-name&gt;</command> will show the share
 187         names for that machine. You could then, for example, use the <command>
 188         cd</command> command to change directories, <command>vi</command> to
 189         edit files, and <command>rcp</command>  to copy files.</para>

 200
 201         <para><command>smbsh</command> works by intercepting the standard
 202         libc calls with the dynamically loaded versions in <filename>
 203         smbwrapper.o</filename>. Not all calls have been "wrapped", so
 204         some programs may not function correctly under <command>smbsh
 205         </command>.</para>
 206
 207         <para>Programs which are not dynamically linked cannot make
 208         use of <command>smbsh</command>'s functionality. Most versions
 209         of UNIX have a <command>file</command> command that will
 210         describe how a program was linked.</para>

 224         <para>The original Samba software and related utilities
 225         were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
 226         by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
 227         to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
 228
 229         <para>The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer.
 230         The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
 231         excellent piece of Open Source software, available at <ulink url="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/">
 232         ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</ulink>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
 233         release by Jeremy Allison.  The conversion to DocBook for
 234         Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2
 235         for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.</para>
