great question - it seems i spent more time copy/pasting from the
terminal than i did explaining the symptoms.
the answer - NO. none of the services seem to get picked up by any of
the clients, despite the multicast traffic obviously getting to the
clients. and though i'm seeing multicast traffic for the proper group
and from port 5353, i admit i don't really know what i'm looking for.
with the ubuntu/avahi laptop running, not only can i see the laptop in
finder but it also shows up in Terminal.app's "new remote connection"
dialog for ssh/sftp. the freebsd box doesn't seem to show up anywhere
at all.
here are my service definitions, minus several <!-- comments --> :
afp.service:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?><!--*-nxml-*-->
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
<service-group>
<name replace-wildcards="YES">%h</name>
<service>
<type>_afpovertcp._tcp</type>
<port>548</port>
</service>
</service-group>
--------
sftp-ssh.service:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*-->
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
<service-group>
<name replace-wildcards="yes">SFTP File Transfer on %h</name>
<service>
<type>_sftp-ssh._tcp</type>
<port>22</port>
</service>
</service-group>
--------
ssh.service:
