Well, actually, the PHPTR link points to an older copy of the official documentation.
Best advice for newbies is to point them at: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf
The PDF is easier to read for many, but the HTML link is preferred by others.

Craig,
You've been fielding a lot of activity for a while now - you know the ropes. Advanced users should consult the HOWTO, and a newbie would easily get lost in the wild woods there. Despite that, most newbies apparently want to master brain surgery before they ever attempt the basics.
Cheers,
John T.
Yes, you would volunteer for brain surgery if the physician skipped all that pre-med stuff. Right?
