TIP: YaST and SLP
Some services brokered by YaST, such as an installation server or YOU
server, perform this registration for you automatically when you activate
SLP in the module dialogs. YaST then creates registration files for these
services.
Static Registration with /etc/slp.reg
The only difference from the procedure with /etc/slp.reg.d is the grouping
of all services within a central file.
Dynamic Registration with slptool
If a service should be registered for SLP from proprietary scripts, use the slptool
command line front-end.
32.3 SLP Front-Ends in SUSE Linux
Enterprise
SUSE Linux Enterprise contains several front-ends that enable SLP information to be
checked and used by means of a network:
slptool
slptool is a simple command line program that can be used to announce SLP in-
quiries in the network or announce proprietary services. slptool --help lists
all available options and functions. slptool can also be called from scripts that
process SLP information.
YaST SLP Browser
YaST contains a separate SLP browser that lists all services in the local network
announced by SLP in a tree diagram under Network Services → SLP Browser.
Konqueror
When used as a network browser, Konqueror can display all SLP services available
in the local network at slp:/. Click the icons in the main window to obtain more
detailed information about the relevant service. If you use Konqueror with
service:/, click the relevant icon once in the browser window to set up a con-
nection with the selected service.
