Yes this would violate the no open ports policy if this package is installed by default
nss-mdns (much like a standard DNS resolver) opens a port at the time of tryign to resolve in order to receive responses When avahi is installed it uses that, and its open ports, but in standalone mode it opens them itself. -- Package should edit /etc/nsswitch.conf on install https://launchpad.net/bugs/65676 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
