+ <para>Tell <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> to enable WAN-wide browse list
+ collation. Setting this option causes <command moreinfo="none">nmbd</command> to
+ claim a special domain specific NetBIOS name that identifies
+ it as a domain master browser for its given <link linkend="WORKGROUP">
+ <parameter moreinfo="none">workgroup</parameter></link>. Local master browsers
+ in the same <parameter moreinfo="none">workgroup</parameter> on broadcast-isolated
+ subnets will give this <command moreinfo="none">nmbd</command> their local browse lists,
+ and then ask <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> for a complete copy of the browse
+ list for the whole wide area network. Browser clients will then contact
+ their local master browser, and will receive the domain-wide browse list,
+ instead of just the list for their broadcast-isolated subnet.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that Windows NT Primary Domain Controllers expect to be
+ able to claim this <parameter moreinfo="none">workgroup</parameter> specific special
+ NetBIOS name that identifies them as domain master browsers for
+ that <parameter moreinfo="none">workgroup</parameter> by default (i.e. there is no
+ way to prevent a Windows NT PDC from attempting to do this). This
+ means that if this parameter is set and <command moreinfo="none">nmbd</command> claims
+ the special name for a <parameter moreinfo="none">workgroup</parameter> before a Windows
+ NT PDC is able to do so then cross subnet browsing will behave
+ strangely and may fail.</para>
+
+ <para>If <link linkend="DOMAINLOGONS"><command moreinfo="none">domain logons = yes</command>

+ not enabled (the default setting), then neither will <parameter moreinfo="none">domain
+ master</parameter> be enabled by default.</para>
