Installing Apple mDNSResponder: WARNING: this is NOT Howl's mDNSResponder and it does not come in Debian package called mdnsresponder. You can see the difference by checking daemon's name: Apple's one (the correct one) is named 'mdnsd' Howl's one is named 'mDNSResponder'. 1) download mDNSResponder - from Apple site (http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/tarballs/apsl/mDNSResponder-107.tar.gz) - or you can get tarball from: http://helios.et.put.poznan.pl/~jstachow/pub/mDNSResponder-107.tar.gz (for those who don't like registration) 2) compile and install Build system for mDNSResponder is quite weird so here are instructions: cd mDNSPosix make os=linux (make without parameters gives list of supported systems) now as root: make os=linux install make sure that mdnsd.sh init script is properly installed and will be executed at boot time
