[opensuse-security] nss-mdns and SuSEfirewall2

Hello,

I am trying to resolve the name of my printer via nss-mdns. It works fine
with "avahi-resolve -n KY623B6B.local". But "ping KY623B6B.local" does not
work because the SuSEfirewall2 blocks the incoming answers from port 5353
of the printer to a random port of my computer. The avahi service opens upd
and broadcast on port 5353 but not answers from port 5353. Using
FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_UDP="mdns" makes "ping KY623B6B.local" working
but that option is deprecated ...

Gruß
Jan
