Confirming that stopping of avahi re-enables DNS queries for .local?
Yes, stopping avahi causes mdns4_minimal to return an error different from NOTFOUND ie nsswitch will try the next module with is dns.
But I guess it is not as flexible as nssswitch.conf: Several packages complain, if avahi is not running. For example use of DNS-SD inside DNS .local domain will not be possible (e. g. use of DAAP inside AD)?
Ah, ok. If you want to keep DNS-SD and only disable name resolving then disabling/uninstalling nss_mdns is the way to go of course.
I am thinking about sysconfig, that will allow smart configuration:
MDNS_LOCAL=(exclusive|preferred|world) default: currently "exclusive", but "preferred" may be an option
MDNS_WORLD=(exclusive|preferred|fallback|none) default=currently "none", but better may be "fallback"
MDNS_IPv4=(none|local|world|both) default: both
MDNS_IPv6=(none|local|world|both) default: none
You'd need SuSEconfig to actually apply such settings then. A YaST module for avahi would be smarter. -- 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.
