## AUTHOR

The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed. ntdbrestore was written by Rusty Russell based on tdbrestore, which was initially written by Volker Lendecke based on an idea by Simon McVittie.

The ntdbrestore man page was written by Rusty Russell, based on the tdbrestore man page by Matthieu Patou.
