Would it not be possible to add the book back in? Of course people can go
and find it at samba.org, but if it was good enough to include before, it
should still be.
OTOH the 3rd ed. is out and maybe that's why they removed the 2nd ed. from
the tarball.
Otherwise, I think it would be better to adjust the link
in /usr/share/doc/samba-docs/htmldocs/index.html to point to
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/toc.html, rather than removing
it altogether.
Thanks,
Andrew.
