It isn't that straight-forward. Only one mDNS responder daemon can be launched at a time, and the different implementations can't talk to each other. Avahi talks only to avahi, howl only talks to howl, bonjour only talks to bonjour (although I'm not 100% sure the 2 latter can't talk to each other). If you want to run gnome-vfs' dns-sd on MacOS X, you can only do that if Bonjour is used. --- Bastien Nocera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I had to tell the guy, 'Dude, chill out, 'cause you're really gonna pop it!' -- Carmen Electra _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
