Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: avahi-daemon
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
Package: avahi-daemon-0.6.23-2ubuntu2.1
When putting spaces or escape codes into the hostname= setting in avahi-
daemon.conf, the codes get double-escaped.
Examples:
hostname=Living Room HTPC
results in a host name coded like this broadcast to the network:
Living\\032Room\\032HTPC
which is displayed in the network browser as "Living\032Room\032HTPC" instead
of "Living Room HTPC" because it got double-escaped. There should only be one
\ in front of the 032. For example, my MacBook Pro is listed as "David
Miller's MacBook Pro" in the network browser, but is broadcast like this to the
network:
David\032Miller\039s\032MacBook\032Pro
