* Package name : libnss-mdns Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : Lennart Poettering * URL : http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/nss-mdns/ * License : LGPL Description : GNU Libc NSS module providing mDNS host name resolution >From the homepage: <snip> nss-mdns is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing host name resolution via Multicast DNS (aka Zeroconf, aka Apple Rendezvous), effectively allowing name resolution by common Unix/Linux programs in the ad-hoc mDNS domain .local. nss-mdns provides client functionality only, which means that you have to run a mDNS responder daemon seperately from nss-mdns if you want to register the local host name via mDNS (e.g. HOWL). nss-mdns is very lightweight (18 KByte stripped binary .so compiled with -DNDEBUG=1), has no dependencies besides the glibc and requires only minimal configuration. </snip> Lennart -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15)
