	<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>

	<para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">os level = 20</command></para>
