Enhanced browsing is enabled by +default, and can be diabled using "enhanced browsing = No". + +The first enhancement to browse propogation consists of a regular +wildcard query to a Samba WINS server for all Domain Master Browsers, +followed by a browse synchronisation with each of the returned +DMBs. The second enhancement consists of a regular randomised browse +synchronisation with all currently known DMBs. + +You may wish to disable this option if you have a problem with empty +workgroups not disappearing from browse lists. Due to the restrictions +of the browse protocols these enhancements can cause a empty workgroup +to stay around forever which can be annoying. + +In general you should leave this option enabled as it makes +cross-subnet browse propogation much more reliable. + label(exec) dit(bf(exec (S))) |
