It has very little sensible use actually. The reason I implemented<br> it was mostly to complete the spec. Distributions should not instal this<br> daemon by default.<br> <br> nss-mdns is responsible for resolving .local names. It is enabled via<br> /etc/nsswitch.conf, and works independently of classic unicast DNS.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks a lot. </div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>Regards, </div><div><br></div><div>Amirouche</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> Lennart<br> <font color="#888888"><br> --<br> Lennart Poettering - Red Hat, Inc.<br> _______________________________________________<br> avahi mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:avahi@lists.freedesktop.org">avahi@lists.freedesktop.org</a><br> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/avahi" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/avahi</a><br> </font></blockquote></div><br>
