I've been using this for a while on an x86 stable box without any problems (0.9). Thanks. compnerd@gentoo.org 2006-07-27 20:31:21 0000 Please ensure that this is tested with avahi and howl. The latter will be removed (hopefully) soon, but for the time being, please test against both. liquidx@gentoo.org 2006-07-28 01:58:58 0000 yes, i have been using it with avahi and banshee (for iTunes shares), and on the same network, and it is working fine with resolving .local domains. liquidx@qoo ~ $ getent hosts mcbook.local 192.168.9.3 mcbook.local with nss-mdns-0.8 hope that is a good datapoint for you. liquidx@gentoo.org 2006-07-28 02:01:04 0000 just to add, mcbook is a mac, but i suppose if you have avahi running on another linux box on your network, it will resolve it too. as per the README, you need to change /etc/nsswitch.conf to use libnss_mdns. dertobi123@gentoo.org 2006-07-28 11:22:04 0000 ppc stable liquidx@gentoo.org 2006-07-29 15:42:45 0000 stable for x86 blubb@gentoo.org 2006-08-01 07:52:50 0000 amd64 done
