I have the Official Samba 3 HowTo dated 2003 here on my bookshelf. Yes,
there has been 2 updates to it but they are incremental and not
monumental changes. That's like 6 months X 16

I have been running Samba since about 2.2.7 (about 2000) as a Windows
Domain controller. I'm still a samba team member and the editor of
wiki.samba.org
