samba - Nov 2001 - prevent workgroups from appearing in browse list

Hi, 

I have a samba 2.2.1a (cvs-06.08.2001) running as PDC for my domain, and it
is doing fine. But in the broadcast domain there are severeal other
workgroups (no domains) with their own Domain Master Browsers. Additionaly
there are always a lot of unconfigured computers not under my control,
which build their own workgroups (e.g. mdkhome, workgroup...).

My problem is now, how do I prevent all but some of the workgroups to
appeare in the browse list of my server ? I'd like that my users only see
some special workgroups besides their domain in their network neighborhood,
but not all.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

A netbios scope would probably work, but I do not recommend using
it unless you really understand netbios name services.  It can
break many things.  Other than code modifications, I can think
of no means of doing this.
