One more thing running on a system that's already got far too many daemons running. Auto-network configuration can bite you on the bum when you start up your computer, and it doesn't connect to your own network like it should do. e.g. The server was temporarily down, or inaccessible, then other things (the rest of your PCs) configure themselves in an incompatible way. This is very bad for non-technical users, who think that the network is fine, when it's not. Quoting from the service itself, pay particular note to the last sentence: "This is a daemon which runs on client machines to perform Zeroconf service discovery on a network. avahi-daemon must be running on systems that use Avahi for service discovery. Avahi-daemon should not be running otherwise." -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
