hi,
not sure what's wrong here, but after todays change to the autoip code
(now using avahi-autoipd), nm just gives me a disconnected
notification immediately when i try to activate an autoip connection.
so i tried running avahi-autoipd in a terminal, which gives me this
weird error:
$ sudo avahi-autoipd eth0
Failed to find user 'avahi-autoipd'.
what's with the user thing? is my distro doing stuff wrong and if so,
what's that? or is avahi broken?
That's probably the issue; avahi-autoipd usually tries to use it's own
user and drop privileges after launch. Fedora avahi-autoipd package
does:
/usr/sbin/groupadd -f -r avahi-autoipd
/usr/bin/id avahi-autoipd /dev/null 21 || \
/usr/sbin/useradd -r -g avahi-autoipd -c 'avahi-autoipd' -s
/sbin/nologin -d %{_localstatedir}/lib/avahi-autoipd avahi-autoipd
