<para>This option allows <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> to try and become a local master browser
on a subnet. If set to <constant>no</constant> then <command moreinfo="none">
nmbd</command> will not attempt to become a local master browser
on a subnet and will also lose in all browsing elections. By
default this value is set to <constant>yes</constant>. Setting this value to
<constant>yes</constant> doesn't mean that Samba will <emphasis>become</emphasis> the
local master browser on a subnet, just that <command moreinfo="none">nmbd</command>
will <emphasis>participate</emphasis> in elections for local master browser.</para>
<para>Setting this value to <constant>no</constant> will cause <command
