Configure Zeroconf on FreeBSD

Install avahi-app and nss_mdns. Note: avahi-app is chosen over avahi because avahi depends on X11.

$ cd /usr/ports/net/avahi-app
$ sudo make config-recursive
$ sudo make install clean
$ cd /usr/ports/dns/nss_mdns
$ sudo make config-recursive
$ sudo make install clean

Add these lines to /etc/rc.conf

dbus_enable="YES"
avahi_daemon_enable="YES"

Change the hosts: line in /etc/nsswitch.conf to

hosts: files dns mdns
