- <listitem><para>This boolean parameter controls if <ulink url="nmbd.8.html">nmbd(8)</ulink> 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>
