Hi Alex,I would be interested in a short presentation on "modern" network methods. For instance, I have never used Avahi, and did not know what it was intended to be used for.Would it also be suitable for use in a small office, say 3 to 100 staff?
This could be at the Jan meeting, or Fev if the college can't find us a room in time for Jan. All my very best,Rob -- Rob Echlin, B.

Alex' suggestion of hostname.local works well for sshfs, and makes a lot of sense. I'll use that. My local static IP was around since early 2000s on whatever "server" I set up on my LAN to try out different things and share files. Some scripts will need changing, but in a very minor way. I'll have to check out what address to use for apache or other httpd server, but I only need that once a year or so. His other comments reflect what I've been finding, namely, multiple approaches in different distros rather tripping all over each other. I was assuming an approach that clearly has gone away. However, it looks like some of the control GUI stuff is out of date, so just confusing everything.
