zeroconf

Welcome to the forum everyone. I ran into a problem that unfortunately I can't solve, even though I'm already trying everything. I looked through the forums but couldn't find a solution. A FreeBSD 13.2 system operating as a NAS, including printer and scanner sharing. The network is...

Zeroconf (Zero Configuration) simplifies network configuration. It takes care of IP allocation for network devices so the user doesn't have to set this up manually. Zeroconf can be used even when DHCP isn't working correctly. With manual set up or with DHCP, two network devices can inadvertently...

Postscript (PS) and PCL (Printer Command Language) are printer languages known as Page Description Languages (PDLs) supported by the majority of printers for interpreting and printing jobs. These two PDLs are alternate models developed by Adobe and HP respectively. ASCII is a printer language...

I've been moving machines from Samba 4.8 -> 4.10, and noticed you can no longer disable both AVAHI and MDNSRESPONDER. Is there a reason (e.g. changes upstream) we need one of these now? It pulls in a bunch of ports from X11 that I'd rather not have on these headless servers. If we're stuck...

I've been running six VNET-enabled jails via iocage that I wanted to revert to shared IP, as I've had some system crashes that I suspect are related to VNET issues. (The iocage documentation describes VNET as experimental and prone to causing instability.) After making the switch, the three...

Wasn't able to find much info on configuring mDNSResponder. Most posts talk about using Avahi or Netatalk. I was using Avahi on FreeBSD 11 and recently clean installed FreeBSD 12-Release and read somewhere that mDNSResponder is more lightweight (but don't quote me on that :p). Anyhow, I was...

I've been using zeroconf for several years happily but I get continual log error messages from security/spiped: 2016-11-06T10:17:00.398940+00:00 wintermute spiped: NSSWITCH(_nsdispatch): mdns_minimal, hosts, getaddrinfo, not found, and no fallback provided 2016-11-06T10:17:19.095431+00:00...

I do have two network interfaces on my server ( one for "public" and one as "admin" network only ). The setup worked fine with net/mDNSResponder and net/netatalk3 . I configured the two networks in /usr/local/etc/afp.conf by restricting the netatalk to listen and response only to the public...

I'm working a fresh install from ports of FreeBSD 10.2 onto a Lenovo T420. I'm getting a lot of avahi errors about an unexpected parenthesis. Did a freebsd-update and portsnap checks. Since avahi is coming up a lot, my install's stopping in several of the contemporary ports like netbeans...

I've just installed mDNSResponder on a FreeBSD 10.2 jail. The port has no user-configurable options that I can find, and no switches. However, when I start it, it fails to come up: # mdnsd -debug mDNSResponder (Engineering Build) (Feb 1 2016 17:40:48) starting socket AF_INET6: Protocol not...

Hello everyone, I have installed net/mDNSResponder from ports in order to advertise a TimeCapsule via Bonjour to my Macs in my lan. The Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) is provided by the installed net/netatalk3 port. The AFP is tested and working OK meaning I can access the provided AFP shares...

Hi all, I’m trying to pkg upgrade my packages and I get a conflict between Avahi and mDNS: Conflict found on path /usr/local/lib/libdns_sd.so between avahi-libdns-0.6.31_1(net/avahi-libdns) and mDNSResponder-544(net/mDNSResponder) Looking at the output from pkg above the quoted line I see...

Hello, The print/cups port will not build using version 1.7.2 without avahi enabled. It seems that this is a documented bug that has been fixed in the development branch of cups via a patch. It seems that there is no maintainer for the cups port, so I am not sure where else to post this. See...

Hello Community, I installed net/netatalk3 with mDNSResponder. Now I can only connect to the file server in Finder on my Mac with Go > Connect to Server and enter afp://[IP address]. So Bonjour/zeroconf is not working and I cannot find a solution in the internet. /var/log/messages Mar 12...

Hi all. I have the error code 1. gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/net/avahi-app/work/avahi-0.6.31/avahi-core' Making all in avahi-qt gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/net/avahi-app/work/avahi-0.6.31/avahi-qt' gmake all-am gmake[3]: Entering directory...

I use the Netatalk file server. It also grabs net/avahi-app, which I never configure, but usually "just works". My upgrade to 10.0-RELEASE went fine, I rebuilt my ports, everything is working except this. I receive the following: Starting avahi-daemon. Segmentation fault (core dumped)...

While trying to build amarok and ktorrent from ports I ran into a dependency conflict between avahi-libdns and mDNSResponder. Following the only proposed solution I could find on the web I added this line to /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf:ALT_PKGDEP = { 'net/avahi-libdns' => :delete...

I installed mDNSResponder from port. cd /usr/ports portmaster net/mDNSResponder echo 'mdnsd_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf service mdnsd restart After that, I modified /etc/nsswitch.conf to add mdns to host: entry. It works well. My OSX box can find FreeBSD box via name. But, FreeBSD box...

I installed CUPS, gutenprint and avahi-daemon to get Airprint enabled on my network printer. CUPS was successfully configured, and it can communicate with my printer. But I can't seem to start Avahi. Can anyone help? root@alpha:/ # avahi-daemon Found user 'avahi' (UID 558) and group 'avahi'...

Hallo everybody. I'm new of this forum and also not so much skilled in FreeBSD. I'm just having fun with an installation of NAS4Free 9.1.0.1 (based on FreeBSD 9.1), but I need help to sort out a problem. I've installed a printer and I've shared it with CUPS. No problems with other PC on the...
