It's important to avoid specifying version numbers where possible, because each of the supported Fedora versions will get package updates to new versions throughout their life. For 1.4, you could provide the current version number as an example of a general point: "The samba package installs the Samba Project documentation to a directory within /usr/share/doc/ that has the same name as the package. For example, if you install samba-3.0.14a the documentation is placed in the directory /usr/share/doc/samba-3.0.14a/." - 1.5.2, Security modes: The "share" and "domain" modes are only really useful for specific arrangements, so it may be better to talk about "user" security first. You may be able to downgrade "share" mode to just a note, since it probably isn't useful most of the time. You may also want to explicitly make the point that the default "user" mode effectively makes the Samba service the primary domain controller of it's own NT4-style domain. - 2.1, Installation: I think that you are absolutely right to consider the case of dial-up users, for whom the size of the samba packages is an issue. As system-config-packages is likely to provide outdated packages, we have to advise users to run yum update as soon as possible, though. Perhaps add a "Caution" ? - 2.1, Installation: We have to assume a default Fedora installation, with no changes other than those specified in the document itself. As part of the installation the user will need to use system-config-securitylevel - the default firewall configuration blocks access to the Samba ports, and the default SELinux configuration also restricts some of Samba's functions. - The general advice is to avoid using screenshots in documentation (the IG is a special case). If you have step by step instructions you probably don't need to use screenshots in this document. OK. If you can post a list of what you need I'll do this. -- Stuart Ellis stuart(a)elsn.org Fedora Documentation Project: http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs/ GPG key ID: 7098ABEA GPG key fingerprint: 68B0 E291 FB19 C845 E60E 9569 292E E365 7098 ABEA
