		<term><anchor id="OSLEVEL"/>os level (G)</term>
		<listitem><para>This integer value controls what level Samba 
		advertises itself as for browse elections. The value of this 
		parameter determines whether <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
		<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> 
		has a chance of becoming a local master browser for the <parameter moreinfo="none">
		WORKGROUP</parameter> in the local broadcast area.</para>
		
		<para><emphasis>Note :</emphasis>By default, Samba will win 
		a local master browsing election over all Microsoft operating 
		systems except a Windows NT 4.0/2000 Domain Controller.  This 
		means that a misconfigured Samba host can effectively isolate 
		a subnet for browsing purposes.  See <filename moreinfo="none">BROWSING.txt
		</filename> in the Samba <filename moreinfo="none">docs/</filename> directory 
		for details.</para>
