Description of problem: avahi-daemon fails to start during system startup Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): avahi-0.5.2-2 How reproducible: Every time at system startup Steps to Reproduce: 1. Restart system 2. Look at system messages or use rhgb in quiet mode to get notified Additional info: I found this line in /var/log/messages... avahi-daemon[1834]: dbus_bus_get(): Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory The reason is that avahi-daemon is started before messagebus. I've changed the chkconfig line from the avahi-daemon init script to "# chkconfig: 345 98 02" and did --del/--add. Worked thereafter.
Somebody was quicker than me. It's fixed in version 0.5.2-3.
