| 7 | This option allows you to setup <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
|
|---|
| 8 | <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> to periodically request
|
|---|
| 9 | synchronization of browse lists with the master browser of a Samba
|
|---|
| 10 | server that is on a remote segment. This option will allow you to
|
|---|
| 11 | gain browse lists for multiple workgroups across routed networks. This
|
|---|
| 12 | is done in a manner that does not work with any non-Samba servers.

|

| 16 | This is useful if you want your Samba server and all local
|
|---|
| 17 | clients to appear in a remote workgroup for which the normal browse
|
|---|
| 18 | propagation rules don't work. The remote workgroup can be anywhere
|
|---|
| 19 | that you can send IP packets to.
|
|---|
| 20 | </para>
|

|

| 22 | <para>
|

| 23 | For example:
|
|---|
| 24 | <programlisting>
|
|---|
| 25 | <parameter>remote browse sync = 192.168.2.255 192.168.4.255</parameter>
|
|---|
| 26 | </programlisting>
|
|---|
| 27 | the above line would cause <command>nmbd</command> to request the master browser on the
|
|---|
| 28 | specified subnets or addresses to synchronize their browse lists with
|
|---|
| 29 | the local server.
|
|---|
| 30 | </para>
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | <para>
|
|---|
| 33 | The IP addresses you choose would normally be the broadcast
|
|---|
| 34 | addresses of the remote networks, but can also be the IP addresses
|
|---|
| 35 | of known browse masters if your network config is that stable. If
|
|---|
| 36 | a machine IP address is given Samba makes NO attempt to validate
|
|---|
| 37 | that the remote machine is available, is listening, nor that it
|
|---|
| 38 | is in fact the browse master on its segment.
|
|---|
| 39 | </para>
|

|
|---|
| 41 | <para>
|
|---|
| 42 | The <smbconfoption name="remote browse sync"/> may be used on networks
|
|---|
| 43 | where there is no WINS server, and may be used on disjoint networks where
|
|---|
| 44 | each network has its own WINS server.
