- This option allows you to setup <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
- <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> to explicit bind to the
- broadcast address of the local subnets. This is only useful in
- combination with the <smbconfoption name="socket address"/> option.
+ This option causes <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> to explicitly bind to the
+ broadcast address of the local subnets. This is needed to make nmbd
+ work correctly in combination with the <smbconfoption name="socket address"/> option.
+ You should not need to unset this option.
