README.Slackware (avahi) First, be sure you have an "avahi" user and group. Do this *before* you install the avahi package. We recommend uid/gid of 214, but adjust as needed for your system. Something like this should suffice: # groupadd -g 214 avahi # useradd -u 214 -g 214 -c "Avahi User" -d /dev/null -s /bin/false avahi Now start the Avahi daemon: # /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidaemon start Optionally start the unicast DNS configuration daemon: # /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidnsconfd start
