This global option specifies whether Samba will attempt to become the local master browser for the subnet when it starts up. If this option is set to
yes, Samba will take place in elections. However, setting this option by itself does not guarantee victory. (Other parameters, such as
preferred
master and
os
level help Samba win browsing elections.) If this option is set to
no, Samba will lose all browsing elections, no matter which values are specified by the other configuration options. The default value is
yes.
