Tell smbd 8 to enable
WAN-wide browse list collation. Setting this option causes nmbd to claim a
special domain specific NetBIOS name that identifies it as a domain master browser for its given
. Local master browsers in the same on
broadcast-isolated subnets will give this nmbd their local browse lists,
and then ask smbd 8 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.
Note that Windows NT Primary Domain Controllers expect to be able to claim this specific special NetBIOS name that identifies them as domain master browsers for that
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 nmbd claims the
special name for a before a Windows NT PDC is able to do so then cross
subnet browsing will behave strangely and may fail.
If yes, then the default behavior is to enable the
parameter. If is not enabled (the
default setting), then neither will be enabled by default.
When Yes the default setting for this parameter is
Yes, with the result that Samba will be a PDC. If No,
Samba will function as a BDC. In general, this parameter should be set to 'No' only on a BDC.
