Package: samba
Version: 3.0.24-6etch9

Hi,

smb.conf manual page says that there are "multiple debug classes", but
omits an actual explanation of that, except for a small example.

source/lib/debug.c defines a default table of class names, and there's
additional logic to determine which classes are available on runtime
(I think; I haven't read it in detail). The file also has a
debug_dump_status() function, which shows this if the debug level is
already set to five or higher:

[2008/02/04 20:49:32, 5] lib/debug.c:debug_dump_status(391)
  INFO: Current debug levels:
    all: True/5
    tdb: False/0
    printdrivers: False/0
    lanman: False/0
    smb: False/0
    rpc_parse: False/0
    rpc_srv: False/0
    rpc_cli: False/0
    passdb: False/0
    sam: False/0
    auth: False/0
    winbind: False/0
    vfs: False/0
    idmap: False/0
    quota: False/0
    acls: False/0
    locking: False/0
    msdfs: False/0
    dmapi: False/0

A list of some sort needs to be included in the manual page, otherwise
we're down to UTSL or semi-random fiddling with options.

Please fix this. TIA.
