| 14 | If this is set to <constant>yes</constant>, on startup, <command moreinfo="none">nmbd</command> will force

| 15 | an election, and it will have a slight advantage in winning the election. It is recommended that this
|
|---|
| 16 | parameter is used in conjunction with <smbconfoption name="domain master">yes</smbconfoption>, so that
|
|---|
| 17 | <command moreinfo="none">nmbd</command> can guarantee becoming a domain master.

| 21 | Use this option with caution, because if there are several hosts (whether Samba servers, Windows 95 or NT)
|
|---|
| 22 | that are preferred master browsers on the same subnet, they will each periodically and continuously attempt
|
|---|
| 23 | to become the local master browser. This will result in unnecessary broadcast traffic and reduced browsing
|
|---|
| 24 | capabilities.
