AFAIK, scrum masters are supposed to be that one that goes from person to person, looking if everything is ok, if they need help, or if they should be doing something else.
That certainly is not "leading". It is indeed some kind of "managing", mostly because this word is incredibly ambiguous. It is also the problem solved by dailys, so if your dailys are useful, it means your scrum master is useless. As far as I can see, there is no reason to have both. (And I'm still doubtful about any reason to have one of them.)
