<para>This parameter determines if <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
8
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> will produce Lanman announce
9
broadcasts that are needed by OS/2 clients in order for them to see
10
the Samba server in their browse list. This parameter can have three
11
values, <constant>yes</constant>, <constant>no</constant>, or
12
<constant>auto</constant>. The default is <constant>auto</constant>.
13
If set to <constant>no</constant> Samba will never produce these
14
broadcasts. If set to <constant>yes</constant> Samba will produce
15
Lanman announce broadcasts at a frequency set by the parameter
16
<smbconfoption name="lm interval"/>. If set to <constant>auto</constant>
17
Samba will not send Lanman announce broadcasts by default but will
18
listen for them. If it hears such a broadcast on the wire it will
19
then start sending them at a frequency set by the parameter
20
<smbconfoption name="lm interval"/>.</para>
