Description Eric Brunson 2006-03-16 22:45:22 UTC
Description of problem:
Avahi has to be manually configured to advertise afp services

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
All

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
N/A
  
Actual results:


Expected results:
Add the following content to a new file: /etc/avahi/services/afp.service

---Begin Content---
<service-group>

  <name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name>

  <service>
    <type>_afpovertcp._tcp</type>
    <port>548</port>
  </service>

</service-group>
---End Content---

Additional info:
I believe "service avahi-daemon restart" needs to be run to pick up the change.

The /etc/avahi/services directory is for user configuration of services
to be advertised, as you have done.

Not all FC machines provide AFP services - you need the optional netatalk
package installed. 

So I don't think we should ship anything in  /etc/avahi/services by default -
it is up to users to choose which services they want to run and which they
want to advertise using avahi.

There is probably a need for a 'system-config-service-discovery' GUI that will
provide an easy user interface for configuring and advertising services with
avahi / ZeroConf - this is a project I am working on but goes far beyond the
scope of this bug report.

Comment 2 Eric Brunson 2006-03-17 17:25:24 UTC
That is why I opened this enhancement against the netatalk package, not the
avahi package.
