Description of problem: From what I got, avahi is that broken by design that the only way to disable a single service from being announced is "rm /etc/avahi/services/ssh.service". However, the next avahi RPM update brings that file again. So from my point of view and from what I can read in the documentation, it is unfortunately not possible to permantely disable ssh.service in a real safe way. Please either make the broken stuff configurable or (preferred by me) don't ship ssh.service by default. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): avahi-0.6.31-3.fc17.armv5tel How reproducible: Everytime, see above and below. Actual results: Avahi's ssh.service can't be permanently disabled. Expected results: Possibility to really permanently disable ssh.service while other services are announced nevertheless. Additional info: Seriously, nobody (except maybe some Mac users) ever requires ssh.service...
