Assuming your problem _is_ in fact with mDNS/Bonjour/Avahi, put some entries in /etc/avahi/hosts, at least one for the host itself.
Mine looks like: 192.168.0.2 mindwarp.local 192.168.0.5 paradox.local 192.168.0.6 paradox-z01.local (paradox is the host; paradox-z01 is a zone on whose behalf I'm advertising a name, and mindwarp is a Solaris 9 system which doesn't have mDNS support) You might also want files in /etc/avahi/services for individual services you wish to advertise (it would be nice if the inetd service restarter handled that, but it doesn't). I attached my smb.service file as an example. My Mac seems to see it ok. (Unfortunately, the Mac doesn't seem to understand NFS advertised via Bonjour.) One can also advertise afpovertcp (Mac AFP file sharing via the netatalk daemon (doesn't come with Solaris)), and rfb (VNC protocol), which the Mac sees as screen sharing capability; not to mention ssh, ftp, and probably other services. There ought to be man pages for avahi-hosts and avahi-services, but I don't see them on my system (although it's like build 97, so maybe they've been added). the avahi hosts file is pretty obvious. The avahi services files aren't so obvious, so see http://avahi.org/download/avahi.service.5.xml for more info. You may have to restart svc:/network/dns/multicast:default and svc:/system/avahi-bridge-dsd:default after adding or changing those files. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
