 Hi all
 
 I have installed the net/mDNSResponder port on a FreeBSD 7.2 i386 
 computer. Set to launch the mdnsd on start up (in /etc/rc.conf).  
 Changed hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf to hosts: files mdns dns. 
 Rebooted.
 
 mDNSIdentify name.local immediately shows the IP address of the other 
 computer but ping name.local shows following message:
 ping: cannot resolve name.local: Unknown host
 
 Its the same for ssh too. Is there anything else to set up in FreeBSD?

Yes. It's called bind.
