<samba:parameter name="preferred master"
context="G"
basic="1" advanced="1" developer="1"
xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
<listitem>
<para>This boolean parameter controls if
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> 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>
<para>See also <link linkend="OSLEVEL"><parameter moreinfo="none">os level</parameter></link>.</para>
<para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">preferred master = auto</command></para>
