I updated user.conf and rebooted--I was immediately able to see all of the mDNS advertised services (IAX, SIP, SSH, TFTP...). However, within ~15 minutes, the advertising stopped (I use Bonjour Browser on Mac OS X to see all services being advertised on my LAN). I tried rebooting, and the same thing happened--everything was working, then it stops.

I've looked in the syslog and don't see any messages. Is there somewhere else I should look to see why the mDNS has stopped responding?

Thanks again for your help,

    Shamus,

    Please re-read my post.

    If you looked at the generated /etc/rc.conf you will find two
    ADNAME occurrences...
    --
    $ grep ADNAME /etc/rc.conf
    ADNAME="AstLinux PBX"
    ADNAME=""
    --

    The latter supersedes the former.

    If you define ADNAME in your user.conf as I stated, you will have
    three occurrences, the user.conf will supersede all others.

    If you do enable this, be sure this AstLinux box is behind another
    router to block the mDNS broadcasts.

    I've since used the web interface to partition the CF card, and
    now there is no services being advertised.
