Hi. Does anyone knows, how to enable the avahi-daemon service on OI illumos? The service is not registered with svcs, but installed.

root@openindiana /usr/share/avahi # svcs -a | grep -i "avahi-daemon"

(blank)

I see avahi ssh.service and sftp.service already in /etc/avahi/services/.

There is:

# svcadm enable avahi-bridge-dsd, but is not the generic avahi-daemon, I would like to start.

Thank you, for letting me know if I can enable avahi-daemon on OI illumos through the % man smf.

On illumos, Bonjour is provided by the OS using mdnsd - you need to have the svc:/network/dns/multicast:default service running

And then the avahi-bridge-dsd service provides a shim interface for clients that expect the avahi interfaces

Thank you! That works!

# svcadm enable svc:/network/dns/multicast:default

# svcadm enable avahi-bridge-dsd

I have working functionality. Thank you a lot!

@jclulow I've forwarded your initial note on to smartos-discuss; USB-key installation and USB-key booters occasionally tickle this.

maybe because it's monday, but if i have a userland function that takes 'const char **' as a parameter, and I want to trace it w/ dtrace, i'd want to stash the argN value in pid$target::func:entry, then in pid$target::func:return, i'd first want to 's = copyin(self->saved_from_entry, sizeof (char **)); printf("%s\n", copyinstr(s)) }' right?

since I need to copyin to read *var, then copyinstr the result (since that should be the userland address of the string)

hrm...

possibly a cursed question (since it deals with terminals)...

but this utility to read a password/passphrase is saving teh current terminal attrs (tcgetattr()), then clearing ICANON and ECHO before calling getline

I notice that our getpassphrase also clears ECHOE ECHOK ECHONL

the latter might explain why you have to press enter twice for getline() to return

what I'm wondering is if those other terminal attributes are sysv/solaris specific or something that should also be happening on other platforms (as I prepare a PR)
