>Description:
The mdnsd daemon in the net/mDNSResponder port has an Apple-origin
bug that causes it to not see any interfaces while coming up. It
simply exits. The mDNSResponder system (library and utilities) is
useless without the mdnsd running.
>How-To-Repeat:
/usr/local/sbin/mdnsd
you will see no daemon if you ps for it.
/usr/local/sbin/mdnsd -debug
You will see "starting" followed imeediately by "stopping"
>Fix:
Add this patch as "patch-ab" to net/mDNSResponder/files and reinstall.
I took this replacement line from the previous release (98_1).
