Hi
Struggling with the so called dot local problem. Have a machine on a small network running Debian Etch RC. Everything works fine except that it's impossible to get avahi-daemon running. The startup script stops with the error message regarding a "unicast domain .local". The domain used to be .local but I've changed it to .int without success. There is a functioning internal DNS-server that resolves all names (checked with nslookup), the "host" file contains the right machine name and ip but still cannot get the avahi-daaemon to start. Have not found any information on how the startup script tests for .local. I've also tried editing the nsswitch.conf according to the instructions regarding the dot local issue but this doesn't help either. I suspect this is a bug. The machine is fully "apt-get upgraded". Cheers, Bengt Walerud
