Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2008-12-24 02:45:48 MSK 
The 4.1 Desktop LiveCD seems to miss the NSS module to resolve hostnames via Zeroconf/mDNS -- http://sisyphus.ru/srpm/Sisyphus/nss-mdns .

But this would be a very handy thing in a LiveCD: to connect to an ad-hoc network, and to address other hosts by their names, which they advertise through zeroconf.

The expected scenario is described in https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18291 ; this feature has two sides: in order to be tested on ALTLinux LiveCDs, https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18291 should also be fixed: ALTLinux systems (incl. LiveCDs) should also respond to mDNS queries and advertise their given hostnames.

This module (libnss-mdns) turnes out to require avahi-daemon; so this feature request essentially means a request for a full-scale zeroconf/mdns /... support. 

Then also having the graphical expolorer for the discovered services would be nice: kdenetwork-kdnssd.
Comment 2 Andriy Stepanov (stanv) 2009-05-06 16:54:39 MSD 
At this moment at LiveCD:
 > cat nsswitch.conf | grep hosts
hosts:      files nisplus nis mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4

rpm -qf /etc/nsswitch.conf 
glibc-core-2.9-alt5

In system installed:
libnss-mdns-0.10-alt2 (from SRPM package: nss-mdns).

We can not include kdenetwork-kdnssd to LiveCD.

Because it requires kdelibs from KDE3.
We use KDE4 for branch 5.0.
It's no such free space on 700Mb CD-media to put both KDE3 & KDE4.

rpm -qpR kdenetwork-kdnssd-3.5.10-alt3.i586.rpm

kdelibs >= 3.5.10-alt3
kdenetwork-common = 3.5.10-alt3
avahi-daemon  
libnss-mdns  
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)  
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)  
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)

May I close this bug ?
