+	<para>This boolean parameter controls if
+	<citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>                                 
+	<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> is a preferred master
+	browser  for its workgroup.</para>
+
+	<para>If this is set to <constant>yes</constant>, on startup, <command moreinfo="none">nmbd</command> 
+	will force an election, and it will have a slight advantage in 
+	winning the election.  It is recommended that this parameter is 
+	used in conjunction with <command moreinfo="none"><link linkend="DOMAINMASTER">
+	<parameter moreinfo="none">domain master</parameter></link> = yes</command>, so 
+	that <command moreinfo="none">nmbd</command> can guarantee becoming a domain master.</para>
+		
+	<para>Use this option with caution, because if there are several 
+	hosts (whether Samba servers, Windows 95 or NT) that are
+	preferred  master browsers on the same subnet, they will each
+	periodically  and continuously attempt to become the local
+	master browser. This will result in unnecessary broadcast
+	traffic and reduced browsing capabilities.</para>
