- <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>
- </link>, then the default behavior is to enable the <parameter moreinfo="none">domain
- master</parameter> parameter. If <parameter moreinfo="none">domain logons</parameter> is
- not enabled (the default setting), then neither will <parameter moreinfo="none">domain
- master</parameter> be enabled by default.</para>
