8 This option allows you to setup <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
9 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> to periodically request
10 synchronization of browse lists with the master browser of a Samba
11 server that is on a remote segment. This option will allow you to
12 gain browse lists for multiple workgroups across routed networks. This
13 is done in a manner that does not work with any non-Samba servers.
17 This is useful if you want your Samba server and all local
18 clients to appear in a remote workgroup for which the normal browse
19 propagation rules don't work. The remote workgroup can be anywhere
20 that you can send IP packets to.
26 <parameter>remote browse sync = 192.168.2.255 192.168.4.255</parameter>
28 the above line would cause <command>nmbd</command> to request the master browser on the
29 specified subnets or addresses to synchronize their browse lists with
34 The IP addresses you choose would normally be the broadcast
35 addresses of the remote networks, but can also be the IP addresses
36 of known browse masters if your network config is that stable. If
37 a machine IP address is given Samba makes NO attempt to validate
38 that the remote machine is available, is listening, nor that it
39 is in fact the browse master on its segment.
43 The <smbconfoption name="remote browse sync"/> may be used on networks
44 where there is no WINS server, and may be used on disjoint networks where
45 each network has its own WINS server.
