But avahi is only default for desktop distro. Samba (SMBD) is more suitable for file server.
I think is better disable avahi and include on samba package a avahi service file: <?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?> <!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd"> <service-group> <name replace-wildcards="yes">Samba Shares on %h</name> <service> <type>_smb._tcp</type> <port>139</port> </service> </service-group> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/786813 Title: Enable avahi support in samba To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/786813/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
