+<description>
+ <para>
+ This integer value controls what level Samba advertises itself as for browse elections. The value of this
+ parameter determines whether <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> has a chance of becoming a local master browser for the <smbconfoption
+ name="workgroup"/> in the local broadcast area.
+</para>
+
+ <para><emphasis>
+ Note:</emphasis> By default, Samba will win a local master browsing election over all Microsoft operating
+ systems except a Windows NT 4.0/2000 Domain Controller. This means that a misconfigured Samba host can
+ effectively isolate a subnet for browsing purposes. This parameter is largely auto-configured in the Samba-3
+ release series and it is seldom necessary to manually override the default setting. Please refer to
+ chapter 9 of the Samba-3 HOWTO document for further information regarding the use of this parameter.
+ <emphasis>Note:</emphasis> The maximum value for this parameter is 255. If you use higher values, counting
+ will start at 0!
