Are you controlling iTunes (and all it's music library) on your Mac from a FreeBSD box somewhere on the net, and playing it on the FreeBSD box?
Because that sounds like something I might be interested in doing

This outlines some extra steps I had to take to setup an iTunes server in FreeBSD 5.3
I followed the instructions at http://home.introweb.nl/~dodger/itunesserver.html
There are a few notes (I suspect those instructions are a bit old/outdated in a few places):
ORIGINAL TEXT:
"Now you'll have to download Rendezvous.tar.gz from Apple. Go to http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/rendezvous/source/ Rendezvous.tar.gz, register and download the file to the directory /usr/ports/distfiles. After doing this, go back to /usr/ports/net/rendezvous (if needed) and type:"
CORRECTION: Rendezvous is now found at /usr/ports/net/p5-Net-Rendezvous
[Thanks to Jason Henson for pointing this out to me]
NEW #1: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mDNSResponder.sh didn't exist, so I copied it from /usr/ports/net/mDNSResponder/files/mDNSResponder.sh. Then I had to manually edit the file. Mine now looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: mDNSResponder # REQUIRE: NETWORKING # KEYWORD: FreeBSD
. /etc/rc.subr
name=mDNSResponder rcvar=`set_rcvar`
# CHANGE THIS to wherever it is installed # It used to be installed to /usr/local/sbin/ command=/usr/local/bin/mDNSResponder
# DON'T change this here. Change it in /etc/rc.conf mDNSResponder_enable=${mDNSResponder_enable:-"NO"}
# OLD: These flags no longer seem to work (2005-01-04) #mDNSResponder_flags=${mDNSResponder_flags:-"-b -n `/bin/hostname -s`"}
pidfile="/var/run/mDNSResponder.pid"
load_rc_config $name run_rc_command "$1"
#EOF
NEW #2:
I added these lines to /etc/rc.conf:
daapd_enable="YES" mDNSResponder_enable="YES"
FYI: here are the config files as I have them
$ cat /usr/local/etc/mDNSResponder.conf FreeBSD iTunes server _daap._tcp.
3689
$ cat /usr/local/etc/daapd.conf Port 3689 ServerName daapd server DBName FreeBSD iTunes server Password Root /usr/home/itunes Cache Timescan 2 RescanInterval 0
NOTE: I had to restart the FreeBSD system to get it to show up in iTunes. Doesn't seem like it ought to be necessary, but it was for me.
I think those were all the steps I had to take.
I hope this will help anyone else who is trying to do the same.
