[Novalug] Samba book

I have been battling samba most of the day. Mostly because the examples 
I am finding aren't what it was I need to do. And then they only explain 
the options they use, if I am lucky. I finally figured it out, by 
combining several different web pages and some documentation from 
samba.org itself. Oddly I am still using DOMAIN and not ADS for 
authentication option because I couldn't get ADS to do crap, no matter 
what page said otherwise.

So, I am checking for a good samba manual. And most seem to be a little 
older. Is that because Samba really hasn't changed much? I don't want to 
get some out of date manual, so if anyone has recommendations I would 
appreciate it.

I want to understand what I did and not just go "well I made it work but 
beats me as to which trick did it."
