Very Computer

Hello,

I am having the same problem described in 2003 (!) in this post:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.networking/msg/2953...

I've been unable to find any answers!  Does anyone know how to make it
possible for me to use  Bonjour/Rendezvous names on my linux machine?

Thanks in Advance,

At

y_api/index.html

"Support in mDNSResponder for dynamic update and shared secrets, which
allows mDNSResponder to send dynamic update requests to add and delete
resource records to a DNS server that also supports dynamic update."

It suggest that your mDNSResponder is able to use the Dynamic DNS Protocal
to update your DNS serveur (on a linux box for ex.).

So you shoule point your linux box to a DNS (on the same box or not) that
accept dynamic update. E.g. BIND (http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/bind/)
which is a standard DNS serveur implementation.

If you are looking for a way to make network services offered by a
Linux server visible across the network via Bonjour/Rendezvous, you
need the Posix mDNSResponder code that Apple makes available.  I can't
tell you exactly where, but I am reasonably positive it was from Apple
Developer Connection and I know that I compiled it under Red Hat Linux
9.0.  Once compiled and installed, it worked like a champ.  You
configure it with a simple conf file in /etc and it advertises the
services listed in the conf file via mDNS so that Macs (or possibly
Windows with Bonjour installed) can see them.

HTH.
