ZeroConf is cool

Anybody know how to get ZeroConf working on Linux, so that I can advertise services on my server to the Macs at home?

See http://www.strangeberry.com/java_rendevous.htm -- there's a Java implementation of multicast DNS. It's got a wonderfully creative name--JRendezvous. You can advertise some services from the command line.

Damian Steer's foaffinger[1] app might be of interest. It uses jrendevous too. Worked fine for me on Linux.

What I'd really like to do is figure out how to expose (and create!) an MP3 streaming service from my linux box to my Mac(iTunes4) laptop...

Download Apple's mDNSResponder - it has a Linux port (actually Posix as well as Windows, VxWorks. MacOS X and MacOS Classic) and allows you to use a common API across all platforms. It is also under a FSF approved opensource license (APSL).

Get it from http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/tarballs/apsl/mDNSResponder-62.tar.gz
