1.10.1. RHBA-2010:0034: bug fix update
Note
This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as FASTRACK
RHBA-2010:0034
errata
Updated avahi packages that address two bugs are now available.
Avahi is an implementation of the DNS Service Discovery and Multicast DNS specifications for
Zeroconf Networking. It facilitates service discovery on a local network. Avahi and Avahi-aware
applications allow you to plug your computer into a network and, with no configuration, view other
people to chat with, see printers to print to, and find shared files on other computers.
This update fixes the following two bugs:
* previously, avahi published a static SSH-SFTP service by default, regardless of the machine and
regardless of whether an ssh server was running or not. As a result, all Red Hat Enterprise Linux
instances also running Avahi appeared in the LAN listings of file browsers and file managers (eg
"Places > Network" in Nautilus or "Go > Network Folders" in Konquerer) even if they were not acting
as file servers. This update still includes a static SSH-SFTP service but it now ships as a deactivated
example service (ie, is not published by default). The static SSH-FTP service can be activated
manually, but systems running Avahi no longer appear in file manager LAN listings by default.

* previously, running the Avahi init scripts with a "status" argument resulted in a return code of 0,
regardless of whether the daemons are running or not. This update corrects that: a missing avahi
daemon now results in a failure return code (1) as expected.
All avahi users should install these updated packages, which address these issues.
