The description of this book would be that it "offers all possible assistance short of any actual help".
I now have a great background as to why Samba Exists, why it is called Samba and a whole wealth of other trivial things.
The Samba Parameters are explained, but it is not made clear why one would use most of them and when.
I bought the book when I was trying to hook a Samba server between Linux and WinXP. WinXP seems to have been an afterthought in this book as it is included in some parts but not in others, but mostly it is not mentioned in any useful context.
The section on debugging is probably the best, and most needed if you try to install Samba according to this book, but then I already got a copy of that chapter free from a link on the Samba website.
My copy of this book is currently gathering dust on the floor and I am using FTP to transfer files.
Not recommended for Samba beginners, for whom I guess it was intended...
