This boolean parameter controls if <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
|
|
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> is a preferred master browser for its workgroup.

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 <smbconfoption name="domain master">yes</smbconfoption>, so that
|
|
<command moreinfo="none">nmbd</command> can guarantee becoming a domain master.

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.
