4 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> will produce Lanman announce
5 broadcasts that are needed by OS/2 clients in order for them to see
6 the Samba server in their browse list. This parameter can have three
7 values, <constant>yes</constant>, <constant>no</constant>, or
8 <constant>auto</constant>. The default is <constant>auto</constant>.
9 If set to <constant>no</constant> Samba will never produce these
10 broadcasts. If set to <constant>yes</constant> Samba will produce

12 <parameter moreinfo="none">lm interval</parameter>. If set to <constant>auto</constant>
13 Samba will not send Lanman announce broadcasts by default but will
