| 8 | Tell <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle> <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> to enable
|
|---|
| 9 | WAN-wide browse list collation. Setting this option causes <command moreinfo="none">nmbd</command> to claim a
|
|---|
| 10 | special domain specific NetBIOS name that identifies it as a domain master browser for its given
|
|---|
| 11 | <smbconfoption name="workgroup"/>. Local master browsers in the same <smbconfoption name="workgroup"/> on
|
|---|
| 12 | broadcast-isolated subnets will give this <command moreinfo="none">nmbd</command> their local browse lists,
|
|---|
| 13 | and then ask <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle> <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> for a
|
|---|
| 14 | complete copy of the browse list for the whole wide area network. Browser clients will then contact their
|
|---|
| 15 | local master browser, and will receive the domain-wide browse list, instead of just the list for their
|
|---|
| 16 | broadcast-isolated subnet.

| 20 | Note that Windows NT Primary Domain Controllers expect to be able to claim this <smbconfoption
|
|---|
| 21 | name="workgroup"/> specific special NetBIOS name that identifies them as domain master browsers for that
|
|---|
| 22 | <smbconfoption name="workgroup"/> by default (i.e. there is no way to prevent a Windows NT PDC from attempting
|
|---|
| 23 | to do this). This means that if this parameter is set and <command moreinfo="none">nmbd</command> claims the
|
|---|
| 24 | special name for a <smbconfoption name="workgroup"/> before a Windows NT PDC is able to do so then cross
|
|---|
| 25 | subnet browsing will behave strangely and may fail.

| 29 | If <smbconfoption name="domain logons">yes</smbconfoption>, then the default behavior is to enable the

|
|---|
| 31 | default setting), then neither will <smbconfoption name="domain master"/> be enabled by default.

| 35 | When <smbconfoption name="domain logons">Yes</smbconfoption> the default setting for this parameter is
|

| 36 | Yes, with the result that Samba will be a PDC. If <smbconfoption name="domain master">No</smbconfoption>,
|
|---|
| 37 | Samba will function as a BDC. In general, this parameter should be set to 'No' only on a BDC.
