	<para>This option allows <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> to try and become a local master browser 
	on a subnet. If set to <constant>no</constant> then <command moreinfo="none">
	nmbd</command> will not attempt to become a local master browser 
	on a subnet and will also lose in all browsing elections. By
	default this value is set to <constant>yes</constant>. Setting this value to 
	<constant>yes</constant> doesn't mean that Samba will <emphasis>become</emphasis> the 
	local master browser on a subnet, just that <command moreinfo="none">nmbd</command> 
	will <emphasis>participate</emphasis> in elections for local master browser.</para>

	<para>Setting this value to <constant>no</constant> will cause <command
