Re: iTunes server SUCCESS!! Here are my notes
Oh, there's one big caveat: there's apparently no way to tell iTunes to look for a iTunes server, it does it automatically... and I presume that it would NOT work over the internet, perhaps not even over a different subnet.

Re: iTunes server SUCCESS!! Here are my notes
You are welcome! The script seems to be a little dated. Entry
20041010 in /usr/src/UPDATING says you don't need KEYWORD: FreeBSD, and
I think there are some other updates to the format too. The old ones
will continue to be supported for now.

I followed the instructions at

There are a few notes (I suspect those instructions are a bit old/
outdated in a few places):
ORIGINAL TEXT:
"Now you'll have to download Rendezvous.tar.gz from Apple. Go to
http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/rendezvous/source/Rendezvous.tar.gz,
register and download the file to the directory /usr/ports/distfiles.
After doing this, go back to /usr/ports/net/rendezvous (if needed)
and type:"
CORRECTION:
Rendezvous is now found at /usr/ports/net/p5-Net-Rendezvous
[Thanks to Jason Henson for pointing this out to me]
NEW #1: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mDNSResponder.sh didn't exist, so I
copied it from /usr/ports/net/mDNSResponder/files/mDNSResponder.sh.
Then I had to manually edit the file. Mine now looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: mDNSResponder
# REQUIRE: NETWORKING
# KEYWORD: FreeBSD
. /etc/rc.subr
name=mDNSResponder
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
# CHANGE THIS to wherever it is installed
# It used to be installed to /usr/local/sbin/
command=/usr/local/bin/mDNSResponder
# DON'T change this here. Change it in /etc/rc.conf
mDNSResponder_enable=${mDNSResponder_enable:-"NO"}
# OLD: These flags no longer seem to work (2005-01-04)
#mDNSResponder_flags=${mDNSResponder_flags:-"-b -n `/bin/hostname -
s`"}
pidfile="/var/run/mDNSResponder.pid"
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"
#EOF
NEW #2:
I added these lines to /etc/rc.conf:
daapd_enable="YES"
mDNSResponder_enable="YES"
FYI: here are the config files as I have them
$ cat /usr/local/etc/mDNSResponder.conf
FreeBSD iTunes server
_daap._tcp.
3689
$ cat /usr/local/etc/daapd.conf
Port3689
ServerName daapd server
DBName FreeBSD iTunes server
Password
Root/usr/home/itunes
Cache
Timescan2
RescanInterval 0
NOTE: I had to restart the FreeBSD system to get it to show up in
iTunes. Doesn't seem like it ought to be necessary, but it was for
me.
I think those were all the steps I had to take.
I hope this will help anyone else who is trying to do the same.

This sounds very interesting. But I am not sure I understand very well
what exactly is the task you were trying to accomplish.
Are you controlling iTunes (and all it's music library) on your Mac
from a FreeBSD box somewhere on the net, and playing it on the FreeBSD
box?
Because that sounds like something I might be interested in doing
