"Zero configuration" would mean that it requires "zero configuration",
so you are wrong.
This is btw. not against avahi or any other specific program but about a
missing feature which could IMHO easily be implemented using
technologies already shipping with Ubuntu. It is about configuration.

There are several existing safe methods to transfer files between

I might add that connecting B and C via USB cable would probably be
similarly acceptable for the average user. Maybe this solves some of the
security issues you see.

Maybe I put this wrong. I do not support any special program to solve
this. All I am saying is that Ubuntu users, unlike Mac users, cannot
just connect two computers with a cable and in this way get data from
one computer to another. This would, however, be an important comfort
feature.
Applicatio
This bug report should be marked as invalid because (i) zeroconf / avahi
is already present, and (ii) it should be deprecated anyway. Avahi
presents security risks and is rarely useful.
>From a security standpoint, Avahi should be used only if (i) no
computers are connected to the Internet at all,
Using a twisted pair cable or a switch should make no difference.
How are you testing ?
zeroconf networking (aka bonjour) is basically 3 things:
1) automatically assigning an ip when no dhcp is available (169.254.0.0/16),
this feature is also available on Windows, you can check that you have an

1.) Marking a bug report invalid FIRST and THEN asking what someone meant (see

people motivated to work on Ubuntu?

ubuntu comes with avahi installed by default, so if you connect too
ubuntu computers together they choose ip address, and can resolve each
