browsing problem

[Arne Kaiser]

Hi Alin,
the master browser = yes option doesnt work (testparm: "unknown parameter).

I add the global section of my smb.conf. I thing something else must be
wrong because the linux box doesnt loose the election who becomes the
master browser,  he doesnt even try.

Thanks

Arne
