Meta Configuration of Package nss-mdns
<package name="nss-mdns" project="openSUSE:12.2"> <title>Host Name Resolution Via Multicast DNS (Zeroconf) for glibc</title> <description>nss-mdns is a plug-in for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing a hostname resolution via Multicast DNS (aka Zeroconf, aka Apple Rendezvous, aka Apple Bonjour), and effectively allowing name resolution by common Unix/Linux programs in the ad-hoc mDNS domain .local. nss-mdns provides only client functionality, which means that you have to run a mDNS responder daemon separately from nss-mdns if you want to register the local hostname via mDNS. I recommend Avahi. By default, nss-mdns tries to contact a running avahi-daemon to resolve hostnames and addresses and makes use of its superior record cacheing.</description> <person userid="os-gnome-maintainers" role="bugowner"/> </package>
