This bind() fails as mentioned above. mDNSresponder is a daemon (which has been replaced with Avahi in FC5 and above) that implements features of ZeroConf and multicast DNS. Apple popularized mDNS and ZeroConf (which they call Bonjour now and used to call Rendezvous) through their iChat and iTunes applications, but it's now built into stuff like printers, digital cameras, etc. I believe that 5353 is the standard port number for mdns: >From /etc/services: mdns 5353/tcp # Multicast DNS mdns 5353/udp # Multicast DNS So obviously if you're not using any of those features, you can just uninstall the 'howl' package and any dependencies, and mDNSresponder wil go away (as should the 'nifd' program). http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bonjour/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avahi_%28software%29 http://avahi.org/ Dan -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
