32.4 Activating SLP
slpd must run on your system if you want to offer services. It is not necessary to start
this daemon simply to make service inquiries. Like most system services in SUSE
Linux Enterprise, the slpd daemon is controlled by means of a separate init script. The
daemon is inactive by default. To activate it for the duration of a session, run
rcslpd start as root to start it and rcslpd stop to stop it. Perform a restart
or status check with restart or status. If slpd should be active by default, run the
insserv slpd command once as root. This automatically includes slpd in the set
of services to start when a system boots.
