Public bug reported: Avahi has support to advertise to a network different running services. Currently openssh doesn't advertise itself dynamically or statically when installed.
It can be done statically by copying the example file from /usr/share/doc/avahi-daemon/examples to /etc/avahi/services or by using the avahi-publish command. avahi-publish could be ran from the SSH init script, or this service file can be installed by the openssh-server package. This can be done dynamically by patching openssh, but there would have to be a buy in from upstream to do this. ** Affects: openssh (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: openssh (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #375685 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=375685 ** Also affects: openssh (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=375685 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #475996 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=475996 -- openssh-server should broadcast availability via avahi https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387091 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
