[Cygwin-ports-general] Avahi and Cygwin

[n***@aol.com]

Hi,

I have Bonjour (Windows mDNSResponder from Apple) running
on my machine.

How can I have Cygwin's `avahi-daemon' run without having to
"RunAs" or "su root" when I invoke Cygwin.bat?

I'm getting the error:
$ /usr/sbin/avahi-daemon.exe
This program is intended to be run as root.

I want it to startup like 'dbus-daemon' does with
"cygrunsrv -S messagebus".

Also, is there a way to import/see my Windows Bonjour
environment while using Cygwin?

BTW, is Cygwin's avahi utilities compiled with --enable-dbus?

Thanks.

You should run avahi-daemon-config as Administrator to install the
avahi-daemon service.

Avahi and Bonjour will list the same network services.

Of course.
