<samba:parameter xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
<term><anchor id="PREFERREDMASTER"/>preferred master (G)</term>
<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>
