Hi,

I've just installed a CentOS 5.2 distro and have been going through it turning off unnecessary services. I ran across avahi-daemon, went to the avahi website to check it out and don't think I need it but I was wondering if it is necessary for operation of a linode (come from a cpanel background where lots of things seem useless/unneeded yet break cpanel). I searched the forums but there's no discussion of avahi that I can find. Looked at a couple of the HowTos and documentation on linode.com as well where turning off unnecessary services were discussed but avahi wasn't mentioned. Can anyone offer any guidance?

Much appreciated,
Terry

There's nothing for avahi to discover on your Linode's local network so you may as well disable it. It's not installed on any of my Linodes.
