-<title>Quick Cross Subnet Browsing / Cross Workgroup Browsing guide</title>
-
-<para>
-This document should be read in conjunction with Browsing and may
-be taken as the fast track guide to implementing browsing across subnets
-and / or across workgroups (or domains). WINS is the best tool for resolution
-of NetBIOS names to IP addesses. WINS is NOT involved in browse list handling
-except by way of name to address mapping.

-MS Windows 2000 and later can be configured to operate with NO NetBIOS 
-over TCP/IP. Samba-3 and later also supports this mode of operation.

-Block) based messaging. SMB messaging may be implemented using NetBIOS or

-MS Windows products can do likewise. NetBIOS based networking uses broadcast
-messaging to affect browse list management. When running NetBIOS over
-TCP/IP this uses UDP based messaging. UDP messages can be broadcast or unicast.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Normally, only unicast UDP messaging can be forwarded by routers. The

-to remote network segments via unicast UDP. Similarly, the 
-<command>remote browse sync</command> parameter of <filename>smb.conf</filename>
-implements browse list collation using unicast UDP.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Secondly, in those networks where Samba is the only SMB server technology
-wherever possible &nmbd; should be configured on one (1) machine as the WINS
-server. This makes it easy to manage the browsing environment. If each network
-segment is configured with it's own Samba WINS server, then the only way to
-get cross segment browsing to work is by using the 
-<command>remote announce</command> and the <command>remote browse sync</command>
-parameters to your <filename>smb.conf</filename> file.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-If only one WINS server is used for an entire multi-segment network then

-
-<para>
-As of Samba 3 WINS replication is being worked on. The bulk of the code has
-been committed, but it still needs maturation.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Right now samba WINS does not support MS-WINS replication. This means that
-when setting up Samba as a WINS server there must only be one &nmbd; configured
-as a WINS server on the network. Some sites have used multiple Samba WINS
-servers for redundancy (one server per subnet) and then used 
-<command>remote browse sync</command> and <command>remote announce</command>
-to affect browse list collation across all
-segments. Note that this means clients will only resolve local names,
-and must be configured to use DNS to resolve names on other subnets in
-order to resolve the IP addresses of the servers they can see on other
-subnets. This setup is not recommended, but is mentioned as a practical
-consideration (ie: an 'if all else fails' scenario).
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Lastly, take note that browse lists are a collection of unreliable broadcast
-messages that are repeated at intervals of not more than 15 minutes. This means
-that it will take time to establish a browse list and it can take up to 45
-minutes to stabilise, particularly across network segments.

-<title>How browsing functions and how to deploy stable and 
-dependable browsing using Samba</title>
-
-
-<para>
-As stated above, MS Windows machines register their NetBIOS names 
-(i.e.: the machine name for each service type in operation) on start 
-up. Also, as stated above, the exact method by which this name registration 
-takes place is determined by whether or not the MS Windows client/server 
-has been given a WINS server address, whether or not LMHOSTS lookup 
-is enabled, or if DNS for NetBIOS name resolution is enabled, etc.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-In the case where there is no WINS server all name registrations as 
-well as name lookups are done by UDP broadcast. This isolates name 
-resolution to the local subnet, unless LMHOSTS is used to list all 
-names and IP addresses. In such situations Samba provides a means by 
-which the samba server name may be forcibly injected into the browse 
-list of a remote MS Windows network (using the 
-<command>remote announce</command> parameter).
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Where a WINS server is used, the MS Windows client will use UDP 
-unicast to register with the WINS server. Such packets can be routed 
-and thus WINS allows name resolution to function across routed networks.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-During the startup process an election will take place to create a 
-local master browser if one does not already exist. On each NetBIOS network 
-one machine will be elected to function as the domain master browser. This 
-domain browsing has nothing to do with MS security domain control. 
-Instead, the domain master browser serves the role of contacting each local 
-master browser (found by asking WINS or from LMHOSTS) and exchanging browse 
-list contents. This way every master browser will eventually obtain a complete 
-list of all machines that are on the network. Every 11-15 minutes an election 
-is held to determine which machine will be the master browser. By the nature of 
-the election criteria used, the machine with the highest uptime, or the 
-most senior protocol version, or other criteria, will win the election 
-as domain master browser.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Clients wishing to browse the network make use of this list, but also depend 
-on the availability of correct name resolution to the respective IP 
-address/addresses. 
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Any configuration that breaks name resolution and/or browsing intrinsics 
-will annoy users because they will have to put up with protracted 
-inability to use the network services.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Samba supports a feature that allows forced synchonisation 
-of browse lists across routed networks using the <command>remote 
-browse sync</command> parameter in the <filename>smb.conf</filename> file. 
-This causes Samba to contact the local master browser on a remote network and 
-to request browse list synchronisation. This effectively bridges 
-two networks that are separated by routers. The two remote 
-networks may use either broadcast based name resolution or WINS 
-based name resolution, but it should be noted that the <command>remote 
-browse sync</command> parameter provides browse list synchronisation - and 
-that is distinct from name to address resolution, in other 
-words, for cross subnet browsing to function correctly it is 
-essential that a name to address resolution mechanism be provided. 
-This mechanism could be via DNS, <filename>/etc/hosts</filename>, 
-and so on.

-<title>Use of the <command>Remote Announce</command> parameter</title>
-<para>
-The <command>remote announce</command> parameter of 
-<filename>smb.conf</filename> can be used to forcibly ensure
-that all the NetBIOS names on a network get announced to a remote network.
-The syntax of the <command>remote announce</command> parameter is:
-<programlisting>
-	remote announce = <replaceable>a.b.c.d [e.f.g.h]</replaceable> ...
-</programlisting>
-_or_
-<programlisting>
-	remote announce = <replaceable>a.b.c.d/WORKGROUP [e.f.g.h/WORKGROUP]</replaceable> ...
-</programlisting>
-
-where:
-<variablelist>
-<varlistentry><term><replaceable>a.b.c.d</replaceable> and 
-<replaceable>e.f.g.h</replaceable></term>
-<listitem><para>is either the LMB (Local Master Browser) IP address
-or the broadcst address of the remote network.
-ie: the LMB is at 192.168.1.10, or the address
-could be given as 192.168.1.255 where the netmask
-is assumed to be 24 bits (255.255.255.0).
-When the remote announcement is made to the broadcast
-address of the remote network every host will receive
-our announcements. This is noisy and therefore
-undesirable but may be necessary if we do NOT know
-the IP address of the remote LMB.</para></listitem>
-</varlistentry>
-
-<varlistentry>
-<term><replaceable>WORKGROUP</replaceable></term>
-<listitem><para>is optional and can be either our own workgroup
-or that of the remote network. If you use the
-workgroup name of the remote network then our
-NetBIOS machine names will end up looking like
-they belong to that workgroup, this may cause
-name resolution problems and should be avoided.

-<title>Use of the <command>Remote Browse Sync</command> parameter</title>
-
-<para>
-The <command>remote browse sync</command> parameter of 
-<filename>smb.conf</filename> is used to announce to
-another LMB that it must synchronise it's NetBIOS name list with our
-Samba LMB. It works ONLY if the Samba server that has this option is
-simultaneously the LMB on it's network segment.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-The syntax of the <command>remote browse sync</command> parameter is:
-
-<programlisting>
-remote browse sync = <replaceable>a.b.c.d</replaceable>
-</programlisting>
-
-where <replaceable>a.b.c.d</replaceable> is either the IP address of the remote LMB or else is the network broadcast address of the remote segment.
-</para>
-
-</sect1>
-
-<sect1>
-<title>Use of WINS</title>
-
-<para>
-Use of WINS (either Samba WINS _or_ MS Windows NT Server WINS) is highly
-recommended. Every NetBIOS machine registers it's name together with a
-name_type value for each of of several types of service it has available.
-eg: It registers it's name directly as a unique (the type 0x03) name.
-It also registers it's name if it is running the lanmanager compatible
-server service (used to make shares and printers available to other users)
-by registering the server (the type 0x20) name.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-All NetBIOS names are up to 15 characters in length. The name_type variable
-is added to the end of the name - thus creating a 16 character name. Any
-name that is shorter than 15 characters is padded with spaces to the 15th
-character. ie: All NetBIOS names are 16 characters long (including the
-name_type information).
-</para>
-
-<para>
-WINS can store these 16 character names as they get registered. A client
-that wants to log onto the network can ask the WINS server for a list
-of all names that have registered the NetLogon service name_type. This saves
-broadcast traffic and greatly expedites logon processing. Since broadcast
-name resolution can not be used across network segments this type of
-information can only be provided via WINS _or_ via statically configured
-<filename>lmhosts</filename> files that must reside on all clients in the
-absence of WINS.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-WINS also serves the purpose of forcing browse list synchronisation by all
-LMB's. LMB's must synchronise their browse list with the DMB (domain master
-browser) and WINS helps the LMB to identify it's DMB. By definition this
-will work only within a single workgroup. Note that the domain master browser
-has NOTHING to do with what is referred to as an MS Windows NT Domain. The
-later is a reference to a security environment while the DMB refers to the
-master controller for browse list information only.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Use of WINS will work correctly only if EVERY client TCP/IP protocol stack
-has been configured to use the WINS server/s. Any client that has not been
-configured to use the WINS server will continue to use only broadcast based
-name registration so that WINS may NEVER get to know about it. In any case,
-machines that have not registered with a WINS server will fail name to address
-lookup attempts by other clients and will therefore cause workstation access
-errors.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-To configure Samba as a WINS server just add 
-<command>wins support = yes</command> to the <filename>smb.conf</filename>
-file [globals] section.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-To configure Samba to register with a WINS server just add
-"wins server = a.b.c.d" to your smb.conf file [globals] section.
-</para>
-
-<important><para>
-Never use both <command>wins support = yes</command> together
-with <command>wins server = a.b.c.d</command>
-particularly not using it's own IP address.
-Specifying both will cause &nmbd; to refuse to start!

-<title>WINS Replication</title>
-
-<para>
-Samba-3 permits WINS replication through the use of the <filename>wrepld</filename> utility.
-This tool is not currently capable of being used as it is still in active development.
-As soon as this tool becomes moderately functional we will prepare man pages and enhance this
-section of the documentation to provide usage and technical details.
-</para>

-<sect2>
-<title>Static WINS Entries</title>
-
-<para>
-New to Samba-3 is a tool called <filename>winsedit</filename> that may be used to add
-static WINS entries to the WINS database. This tool can be used also to modify entries
-existing in the WINS database.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-The development of the winsedit tool was made necessary due to the migration
-of the older style wins.dat file into a new tdb binary backend data store.

-<title>Do NOT use more than one (1) protocol on MS Windows machines</title>
-
-<para>
-A very common cause of browsing problems results from installing more than
-one protocol on an MS Windows machine.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Every NetBIOS machine takes part in a process of electing the LMB (and DMB)
-every 15 minutes. A set of election criteria is used to determine the order
-of precidence for winning this election process. A machine running Samba or
-Windows NT will be biased so that the most suitable machine will predictably
-win and thus retain it's role.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-The election process is "fought out" so to speak over every NetBIOS network
-interface. In the case of a Windows 9x machine that has both TCP/IP and IPX
-installed and has NetBIOS enabled over both protocols the election will be
-decided over both protocols. As often happens, if the Windows 9x machine is
-the only one with both protocols then the LMB may be won on the NetBIOS
-interface over the IPX protocol. Samba will then lose the LMB role as Windows
-9x will insist it knows who the LMB is. Samba will then cease to function
-as an LMB and thus browse list operation on all TCP/IP only machines will
-fail.
-</para>
-
-<para><emphasis>
-Windows 95, 98, 98se, Me are referred to generically as Windows 9x.
-The Windows NT4, 2000, XP and 2003 use common protocols. These are roughly
-referred to as the WinNT family, but it should be recognised that 2000 and
-XP/2003 introduce new protocol extensions that cause them to behave 
-differently from MS Windows NT4. Generally, where a server does NOT support
-the newer or extended protocol, these will fall back to the NT4 protocols.
-</emphasis></para>
-
-<para>
-The safest rule of all to follow it this - USE ONLY ONE PROTOCOL!
-</para>
-
-</sect1>
-
-<sect1>
-<title>Name Resolution Order</title>
-
-<para>
-Resolution of NetBIOS names to IP addresses can take place using a number
-of methods. The only ones that can provide NetBIOS name_type information
-are:</para>
-
-<simplelist>
-<member>WINS: the best tool!</member>
-<member>LMHOSTS: is static and hard to maintain.</member>
-<member>Broadcast: uses UDP and can not resolve names across remote segments.</member>
-</simplelist>
-
-<para>
-Alternative means of name resolution includes:</para>
-<simplelist>
-<member>/etc/hosts: is static, hard to maintain, and lacks name_type info</member>
-<member>DNS: is a good choice but lacks essential name_type info.</member>
-</simplelist>
-
-<para>
-Many sites want to restrict DNS lookups and want to avoid broadcast name
-resolution traffic. The "name resolve order" parameter is of great help here.
-The syntax of the "name resolve order" parameter is:
-<programlisting>
-name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast host
-</programlisting>
-_or_
-<programlisting>
-name resolve order = wins lmhosts  	(eliminates bcast and host)
-</programlisting>
-The default is:
-<programlisting>
-name  resolve order = host lmhost wins bcast
-</programlisting>.
-where "host" refers the the native methods used by the Unix system
-to implement the gethostbyname() function call. This is normally
-controlled by <filename>/etc/host.conf</filename>, <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> and <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename>.

+During the startup process an election will take place to create a 
+local master browser if one does not already exist. On each NetBIOS network 
+one machine will be elected to function as the domain master browser. This 
+domain browsing has nothing to do with MS security domain control. 
+Instead, the domain master browser serves the role of contacting each local 
+master browser (found by asking WINS or from LMHOSTS) and exchanging browse 
+list contents. This way every master browser will eventually obtain a complete 
+list of all machines that are on the network. Every 11-15 minutes an election 
+is held to determine which machine will be the master browser. By the nature of 
+the election criteria used, the machine with the highest uptime, or the 
+most senior protocol version, or other criteria, will win the election 
+as domain master browser.

+Samba supports a feature that allows forced synchonisation 
+of browse lists across routed networks using the <command>remote 
+browse sync</command> parameter in the <filename>smb.conf</filename> file. 
+This causes Samba to contact the local master browser on a remote network and 
+to request browse list synchronisation. This effectively bridges 
+two networks that are separated by routers. The two remote 
+networks may use either broadcast based name resolution or WINS 
+based name resolution, but it should be noted that the <command>remote 
+browse sync</command> parameter provides browse list synchronisation - and 
+that is distinct from name to address resolution, in other 
+words, for cross subnet browsing to function correctly it is 
+essential that a name to address resolution mechanism be provided. 
+This mechanism could be via DNS, <filename>/etc/hosts</filename>, 
+and so on.

+<title>Setting up Browsing in a WORKGROUP</title>
+
+<para>
+To set up cross subnet browsing on a network containing machines
+in up to be in a WORKGROUP, not an NT Domain you need to set up one
+Samba server to be the Domain Master Browser (note that this is *NOT*
+the same as a Primary Domain Controller, although in an NT Domain the
+same machine plays both roles).  The role of a Domain master browser is
+to collate the browse lists from local master browsers on all the
+subnets that have a machine participating in the workgroup.  Without
+one machine configured as a domain master browser each subnet would
+be an isolated workgroup, unable to see any machines on any other
+subnet.  It is the presense of a domain master browser that makes
+cross subnet browsing possible for a workgroup.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In an WORKGROUP environment the domain master browser must be a
+Samba server, and there must only be one domain master browser per
+workgroup name.  To set up a Samba server as a domain master browser,
+set the following option in the [global] section of the &smb.conf; file :
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<programlisting>
+	domain master = yes
+</programlisting>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The domain master browser should also preferrably be the local master
+browser for its own subnet.  In order to achieve this set the following

+<programlisting>
+	domain master = yes
+	local master = yes
+	preferred master = yes

+The domain master browser may be the same machine as the WINS
+server, if you require.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Next, you should ensure that each of the subnets contains a
+machine that can act as a local master browser for the
+workgroup.  Any MS Windows NT/2K/XP/2003  machine should be
+able to do this, as will Windows 9x machines (although these
+tend to get rebooted more often, so it's not such a good idea
+to use these).  To make a Samba server a local master browser
+set the following options in the [global] section of the
+&smb.conf; file :
+</para>
+

+The <command>local master</command> parameter allows Samba to act as a

+<title>WINS - The Windows Internetworking Name Server</title>
+
+<para>
+Use of WINS (either Samba WINS _or_ MS Windows NT Server WINS) is highly
+recommended. Every NetBIOS machine registers it's name together with a
+name_type value for each of of several types of service it has available.
+eg: It registers it's name directly as a unique (the type 0x03) name.
+It also registers it's name if it is running the lanmanager compatible
+server service (used to make shares and printers available to other users)
+by registering the server (the type 0x20) name.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+All NetBIOS names are up to 15 characters in length. The name_type variable
+is added to the end of the name - thus creating a 16 character name. Any
+name that is shorter than 15 characters is padded with spaces to the 15th
+character. ie: All NetBIOS names are 16 characters long (including the
+name_type information).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+WINS can store these 16 character names as they get registered. A client
+that wants to log onto the network can ask the WINS server for a list
+of all names that have registered the NetLogon service name_type. This saves
+broadcast traffic and greatly expedites logon processing. Since broadcast
+name resolution can not be used across network segments this type of
+information can only be provided via WINS _or_ via statically configured
+<filename>lmhosts</filename> files that must reside on all clients in the
+absence of WINS.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+WINS also serves the purpose of forcing browse list synchronisation by all
+LMB's. LMB's must synchronise their browse list with the DMB (domain master
+browser) and WINS helps the LMB to identify it's DMB. By definition this
+will work only within a single workgroup. Note that the domain master browser
+has NOTHING to do with what is referred to as an MS Windows NT Domain. The
+later is a reference to a security environment while the DMB refers to the
+master controller for browse list information only.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Use of WINS will work correctly only if EVERY client TCP/IP protocol stack
+has been configured to use the WINS server/s. Any client that has not been
+configured to use the WINS server will continue to use only broadcast based
+name registration so that WINS may NEVER get to know about it. In any case,
+machines that have not registered with a WINS server will fail name to address
+lookup attempts by other clients and will therefore cause workstation access
+errors.

+Every NetBIOS machine takes part in a process of electing the LMB (and DMB)

+The election process is "fought out" so to speak over every NetBIOS network
+interface. In the case of a Windows 9x machine that has both TCP/IP and IPX
+installed and has NetBIOS enabled over both protocols the election will be
+decided over both protocols. As often happens, if the Windows 9x machine is
+the only one with both protocols then the LMB may be won on the NetBIOS
+interface over the IPX protocol. Samba will then lose the LMB role as Windows
+9x will insist it knows who the LMB is. Samba will then cease to function
+as an LMB and thus browse list operation on all TCP/IP only machines will
+fail.

-<title>Setting up a WINS server</title>

-Either a Samba machine or a Windows NT Server machine may be set up
-as a WINS server.  To set a Samba machine to be a WINS server you must

-Versions of Samba prior to 1.9.17 had this parameter default to
-yes.  If you have any older versions of Samba on your network it is
-strongly suggested you upgrade to a recent version, or at the very
-least set the parameter to 'no' on all these machines.
-</para>

-You should set up only ONE wins server.  Do NOT set the
-<command>wins support = yes</command> option on more than one Samba 
-server.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-To set up a Windows NT Server as a WINS server you need to set up
-the WINS service - see your NT documentation for details.  Note that
-Windows NT WINS Servers can replicate to each other, allowing more
-than one to be set up in a complex subnet environment.  As Microsoft
-refuse to document these replication protocols Samba cannot currently
-participate in these replications.  It is possible in the future that
-a Samba->Samba WINS replication protocol may be defined, in which
-case more than one Samba machine could be set up as a WINS server
-but currently only one Samba server should have the 
-<command>wins support = yes</command> parameter set.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-After the WINS server has been configured you must ensure that all
-machines participating on the network are configured with the address
-of this WINS server.  If your WINS server is a Samba machine, fill in
-the Samba machine IP address in the "Primary WINS Server" field of
-the "Control Panel->Network->Protocols->TCP->WINS Server" dialogs
-in Windows 95 or Windows NT.  To tell a Samba server the IP address
-of the WINS server add the following line to the [global] section of

-
-<para>
-<command>wins server = &gt;name or IP address&lt;</command>

-<title>Setting up Browsing in a WORKGROUP</title>
-
-<para>
-To set up cross subnet browsing on a network containing machines
-in up to be in a WORKGROUP, not an NT Domain you need to set up one
-Samba server to be the Domain Master Browser (note that this is *NOT*
-the same as a Primary Domain Controller, although in an NT Domain the
-same machine plays both roles).  The role of a Domain master browser is
-to collate the browse lists from local master browsers on all the
-subnets that have a machine participating in the workgroup.  Without
-one machine configured as a domain master browser each subnet would
-be an isolated workgroup, unable to see any machines on any other
-subnet.  It is the presense of a domain master browser that makes
-cross subnet browsing possible for a workgroup.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-In an WORKGROUP environment the domain master browser must be a
-Samba server, and there must only be one domain master browser per
-workgroup name.  To set up a Samba server as a domain master browser,
-set the following option in the [global] section of the &smb.conf; file :
-</para>
-
-<para>
-<command>domain master = yes</command>
-</para>
-
-<para>
-The domain master browser should also preferrably be the local master
-browser for its own subnet.  In order to achieve this set the following
-options in the [global] section of the &smb.conf; file :
-</para>
-
-<para>
-<programlisting>
-domain master = yes
-local master = yes
-preferred master = yes
-os level = 65
-</programlisting>
-</para>
-
-<para>
-The domain master browser may be the same machine as the WINS
-server, if you require.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Next, you should ensure that each of the subnets contains a
-machine that can act as a local master browser for the
-workgroup.  Any MS Windows NT/2K/XP/2003  machine should be
-able to do this, as will Windows 9x machines (although these
-tend to get rebooted more often, so it's not such a good idea
-to use these).  To make a Samba server a local master browser
-set the following options in the [global] section of the
-&smb.conf; file :
-</para>
-
-<para>
-<programlisting>
-domain master = no
-local master = yes

-or they will war with each other over which is to be the local
-master browser.

-The <command>local master</command> parameter allows Samba to act as a
-local master browser.  The <command>preferred master</command> causes nmbd

-<title>Setting up Browsing in a DOMAIN</title>
-
-<para>
-If you are adding Samba servers to a Windows NT Domain then
-you must not set up a Samba server as a domain master browser.
-By default, a Windows NT Primary Domain Controller for a Domain
-name is also the Domain master browser for that name, and many
-things will break if a Samba server registers the Domain master
-browser NetBIOS name (<replaceable>DOMAIN</replaceable>&lt;1B&gt;)
-with WINS instead of the PDC.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-For subnets other than the one containing the Windows NT PDC
-you may set up Samba servers as local master browsers as
-described.  To make a Samba server a local master browser set 
-the following options in the <command>[global]</command> section 
-of the &smb.conf; file :
-</para>
-
-<para>
-<programlisting>
-domain master = no
-local master = yes
-preferred master = yes
-os level = 65
-</programlisting>
-</para>
-
-<para>
-If you wish to have a Samba server fight the election with machines
-on the same subnet you may set the <command>os level</command> parameter
-to lower levels.  By doing this you can tune the order of machines that
-will become local master browsers if they are running.  For
-more details on this see the section <link linkend="browse-force-master">
-Forcing samba to be the master browser</link>
-below.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-If you have Windows NT machines that are members of the domain
-on all subnets, and you are sure they will always be running then
-you can disable Samba from taking part in browser elections and
-ever becoming a local master browser by setting following options 
-in the <command>[global]</command> section of the &smb.conf;
-file :

-        domain master = no

-<para>
-Who becomes the <command>master browser</command> is determined by an election
-process using broadcasts.  Each election packet contains a number of parameters
-which determine what precedence (bias) a host should have in the
-election.  By default Samba uses a very low precedence and thus loses
-elections to just about anyone else.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-If you want Samba to win elections then just set the <command>os level</command> global
-option in &smb.conf; to a higher number.  It defaults to 0.  Using 34
-would make it win all elections over every other system (except other
-samba systems!)
-</para>
-
-<para>
-A <command>os level</command> of 2 would make it beat WfWg and Win95, but not MS Windows
-NT/2K Server.  A MS Windows NT/2K Server domain controller uses level 32.

-<para>The maximum os level is 255</para>
 
-<para>
-If you want samba to force an election on startup, then set the
-<command>preferred master</command> global option in &smb.conf; to "yes".  Samba will
-then have a slight advantage over other potential master browsers
-that are not preferred master browsers.  Use this parameter with
-care, as if you have two hosts (whether they are windows 95 or NT or
-samba) on the same local subnet both set with <command>preferred master</command> to
-"yes", then periodically and continually they will force an election
-in order to become the local master browser.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-If you want samba to be a <command>domain master browser</command>, then it is
-recommended that you also set <command>preferred master</command> to "yes", because
-samba will not become a domain master browser for the whole of your
-LAN or WAN if it is not also a local master browser on its own
-broadcast isolated subnet.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-It is possible to configure two samba servers to attempt to become
-the domain master browser for a domain.  The first server that comes
-up will be the domain master browser.  All other samba servers will
-attempt to become the domain master browser every 5 minutes.  They
-will find that another samba server is already the domain master
-browser and will fail.  This provides automatic redundancy, should
-the current domain master browser fail.

-<title>Making samba the domain master</title>
-

-The domain master is responsible for collating the browse lists of
-multiple subnets so that browsing can occur between subnets.  You can
-make samba act as the domain master by setting <command>domain master = yes</command>
-in &smb.conf;.  By default it will not be a domain master.
-</para>
-

-Note that you should NOT set Samba to be the domain master for a
-workgroup that has the same name as an NT Domain.

-

-When samba is the domain master and the master browser it will listen
-for master announcements (made roughly every twelve minutes) from local
-master browsers on other subnets and then contact them to synchronise
-browse lists.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-If you want samba to be the domain master then I suggest you also set
-the <command>os level</command> high enough to make sure it wins elections, and set

-startup.
