There are already routers, which are able to assign IP addresses using mDNS instead of DHCP and local DNS. mDNS could be also used to establish ad-hoc IP networking on devices like wireless ad-hoc networks, ethernet patch cable, USB-to-USB cable.
All these uses cases need firewall open to unconfigured or external interfaces.
No, IPv4 link local address configuration is unrelated to and independent from mDNS. avahi-autoipd (just like any other tool for for that purpose) uses a packet socket which bypasses ip filters anyways. We do already support IPv4 link local addresses for quite some time btw, just set e.g. BOOTPROTO="dhcp+autoip" in your ifcfg file. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
