+       The cover artwork of this book continues the freedom theme of the first edition of <quote>The Official Samba-3
+       HOWTO and Reference Guide</quote>.  We may look back upon the past to question the motives of those who have
+       gone before us. Seldom do we realise that the past owes us no answer, and despite what we may think of the
+       actions of those who have travelled lifes' road before us, we must feel a sense of pride and gratitude for
+       those who, in the past, have protected our liberties.

-       The cover artwork of this book continues the freedom theme of the first
-       edition of <quote>Samba-3 by Example</quote>. The history of civilization
-       demonstrates the fragile nature of freedom. It can be lost in a moment,
-       and once lost, the cost of recovering liberty can be incredible. The last
-       edition cover featured Alfred the Great who liberated England from the
-       constant assault of Vikings and Norsemen. Events in England that
-       that finally liberated the common people came about in small steps, but
-       the result should not be under-estimated. Today, as always, freedom and
-       liberty are seldom appreciated until they are lost. If we can not quantify
-       what is the value of freedom, we shall be little motivated to protect it.
+       Developments in information technology continue to move at an alarming pace. Human nature causes us
+       to adopt and embrace new developments that appear to answer the needs of the moment, but that can entrap
+       us at a future date. There are many examples in the short history of information technology. MS-DOS was
+       seen as a tool that liberated users from the tyrany of large computer system operating costs, and that
+       made possible the rapid progres we are beneficiaries of today. Yet today we are inclined to look back with
+       disdain on MS-DOS as an obsolete and constraining technology that belongs are an era that is best
+       forgotten.

-       <emphasis>Samba-3 by Example Cover Artwork:</emphasis> The British houses
-       of parliament are a symbol of the Westminster system of government. This form
-       of government permits the people to govern themselves at the lowest level, yet
-       it provides for courts of appeal that are designed to protect freedom and to
-       hold back all forces of tyranny. The clock is a pertinent symbol of the
-       importance of time and place.
+       The embrace of Windows networking, Windows NT4, and MS Active Directory in more recent times, may seem
+       modern and progressive today, but sooner or later something better will replace them. The current
+       preoccupation with extended identity management solutions and with directories is not unexpected.
+       The day will come that these too will be evaluated, and what may seem refreshing and powerful may
+       be better recogized as the chilly winds of the night. To argue against progress is unthinkable,
+       no matter what may lie ahead.

-       The information technology industry is being challenged by the imposition of
-       new laws, hostile litigation, and the imposition of significant constraint 
-       of practice that threatens to remove the freedom to develop and deploy open 
-       source software solutions. Samba is a software solution that epitomizes freedom
-       of choice in network interoperability for Microsoft Windows clients.

-       I hope you will take the time needed to deploy it well, and that you may realize
-       the greatest benefits may be obtained. You are free to use it in ways never
-       considered, but in doing so there may be some obstacles. Every obstacle that is
-       overcome adds to the freedom you can enjoy. Use Samba well, and it will serve
-       you well.
+       The development of Samba is moving forwards. The changes since Samba 3.0.0 are amazing, yet many
+       users would like to see more and faster progress. The benefits of recent developments can be realized
+       quickly, but documentation is necessary to unlock the pandoras' box. It is our hope that this book
+       will help the network administrator to rapidly deploy the new features with minimum effort. As you
+       deploy and gain mileage from the new enablement, take the time to think through what may lie ahead.
+       Above all, take stock of the freedom of choice that Samba provides in your world, and enjoy the new 
+       potential for seamless interoperability.
