local master = yes
# winblows nt type os's default to 32, use 33 or higher to win
os level = 33
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes

# Never set both below or samba wont work
# To make samba the wins controller and point all other machine at it
wins support = yes
# this machine to point to a wins controller
#wins server = 192.168.0.1

Without a wins controller win95/98 will call elections every 12 or 15
minutes, very noisy on local network...
