8 This integer value controls what level Samba advertises itself as for browse elections. The value of this
9 parameter determines whether <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
10 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> has a chance of becoming a local master browser for the <smbconfoption
11 name="workgroup"/> in the local broadcast area.

14 <para><emphasis>
15 Note:</emphasis> By default, Samba will win a local master browsing election over all Microsoft operating
16 systems except a Windows NT 4.0/2000 Domain Controller. This means that a misconfigured Samba host can
17 effectively isolate a subnet for browsing purposes. This parameter is largely auto-configured in the Samba-3
18 release series and it is seldom necessary to manually override the default setting. Please refer to
19 the chapter on Network Browsing in the Samba-3 HOWTO document for further information regarding the use
20 of this parameter.
21 <emphasis>Note:</emphasis> The maximum value for this parameter is 255. If you use higher values, counting
22 will start at 0!
