Avahi is an implementation of the DNS Service Discovery and Multicast DNS 
specifications for Zeroconf Computing.  It uses D-BUS for communication 
between user applications and a system daemon.  The daemon is used to 
coordinate application efforts in caching replies, necessary to minimize the 
traffic imposed on networks.  This kind of technology is already found in 
Apple MacOS X (branded Rendezvous Bonjour and sometimes Zeroconf) and is very 
convenient.

You will need to have an "avahi" user and group on the target system
prior to installing the avahi package.  See README.SBo in this 
directory (it is also installed to the package docmentation directory)
for more information and for setup notes.

This requires libdaemon, and mono is optional - enable it with the following:
  MONO=yes ./avahi.SlackBuild
