Quick reading about mDNS (correct me if I'm wrong) this would mean that you want smbd to listen on UDP port 5353. With the events system in SAMBA_3_0 this will be easier than it used to be, but I'm not certain this is a good idea. Traditionally in Samba3 it was nmbd who was responsible for the UDP-based services. Other comments? Volker
