34c65ebfc7SToomas Soomedownloaded from:
35c65ebfc7SToomas Soome	http://developer.apple.com/networking/bonjour/download/
36c65ebfc7SToomas SoomeThe following components are integrated from the Apple Bonjour
37c65ebfc7SToomas Soomesource in Solaris:
38c65ebfc7SToomas Soome  libdns_sd:	usr/src/lib/libdns_sd <dns_sd.h>
39c65ebfc7SToomas Soome  mdnsd:	usr/src/cmd/cmd-inet/usr.lib/mdnsd
40c65ebfc7SToomas Soome  dns-sd:	usr/src/cmd/cmd-inet/usr.bin/dns-sd
41c65ebfc7SToomas Soome

57c65ebfc7SToomas Soome    usr/src/lib/nsswitch/mdns
58c65ebfc7SToomas Soome* snoop updated to decode mDNS packets
59c65ebfc7SToomas Soome* updated /etc/services to include mdns
60c65ebfc7SToomas Soome* <netinet/in.h> updated to include mdns
61c65ebfc7SToomas Soome* svc:/network/dns/multicast:default introduced to manage mDNS daemon
62c65ebfc7SToomas Soome* solaris.smf.manage.mdns & solaris.smf.value.mdns authorizations
