+ <term><anchor id="ENHANCEDBROWSING"/>enhanced browsing (G)</term>
+ <listitem><para>This option enables a couple of enhancements to
+ cross-subnet browse propagation that have been added in Samba
+ but which are not standard in Microsoft implementations.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>The first enhancement to browse propagation consists of a regular
+ wildcard query to a Samba WINS server for all Domain Master Browsers,
+ followed by a browse synchronization with each of the returned
+ DMBs. The second enhancement consists of a regular randomised browse
+ synchronization with all currently known DMBs.</para>
+
+ <para>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.</para>
+
+ <para>In general you should leave this option enabled as it makes
+ cross-subnet browse propagation much more reliable.</para>
+
+ <para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">enhanced browsing = yes</command></para>
