README.SBo (avahi)

First, be sure you have an "avahi" user and group.  Do this *before*
you install the avahi package.  We recommend uid/gid of 214, but 
adjust as needed for your system.  Something like this should suffice:
  # groupadd -g 214 avahi
  # useradd -u 214 -g 214 -c "Avahi User" -d /dev/null -s /bin/false avahi

Now start the Avahi daemon:
	# /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidaemon start

Optionally start the unicast DNS configuration daemon:
	# /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidnsconfd start

You will need to start avahi at boot by adding the following 
to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local and make them executable:
        # Start avahidaemon
	if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidaemon ]; then
	  /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidaemon start
	fi
        # Start avahidnsconfd
	if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidnsconfd ]; then
	  /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidnsconfd start
	fi
