There's a shiny new Linux-only implementation of Zeroconf networking for Linux, called "Avahi" <http://avahi.org/> which---unlike Howl---makes use of all the advanced features of Linux (e.g. Netlink) and---also unlike Howl, which is forked from Apples Bonjour and thus licensed under the Apple Public Source License---is LGPL. Avahi includes compatibility libraries and bindings for all major previously existing implementations of Zeroconf for Linux (Bonjour and its fork Howl), so it should be a drop-in replacement for packages depending on Bonjour or Howl and an enhancement for packagages depending on Avahi. Avahi also includes an Apache module, an NSS module, Desktop applets, a D-BUS interface and possibly other stuff. I haven't used it myself though, just thought I'd mention it. jwm -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
