browserd [-d debuglevel] [-D] [-s servicesfile] [-l basename for log file] [-h] [-V]
This daemon is part of the Samba-TNG suite.
The browserd daemon is designed to control all of the browsing services much like the Windows NT 'Browser' service. The tasks performed can include keeping the browse list, answering queries and synchronising browse lists with other browse list holders.
Besides browserd the daemon nmbd still takes care of all browse list services.
This daemon should be run on a Samba-TNG server that is to hold a browse list (ie, if you answered 'yes' to domain master = , local master = or preferred master = lines in your smb.conf).

The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell.
Samba-TNG is now developed by the Samba-TNG Team as an independent Open Source project. Take a look at the Samba-TNG Forum for more informations.
