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.
25 <parameter>remote browse sync = 192.168.2.255 192.168.4.255</parameter>
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
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.
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.
