Well, I don't think it's that simple, but I don't think I explained it
very well. At the moment, the Windows Networking chapter covers Samba,
but that explanation contains detailed material on things like LDAP
which on your wiki page structure is shown as belonging in a separate
chapter ("Network Authentication"). Splitting these up will require a
rewrite of the Samba section. I think it would be easier to retain a
separate section entitled "Windows Networking". What do you think is the
*proper* approach?
