-
- <section name="Section [Server]">
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>host-name=</opt> Set the host name avahi-daemon tries
- to register on the LAN. If omited defaults to the system host
- name as set with the sethostname() system call.</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>host-name-from-machine-id=</opt> Takes a boolean
- value ("yes" or "no"). If set to "yes" avahi-daemon
- will use the machine-id as name on the LAN.</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>domain-name=</opt> Set the default domain name avahi-daemon
- tries to register its host name and services on the LAN in. If
- omitted defaults to ".local".</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>browse-domains=</opt> Set a comma separated list of
- browsing domains (in addition to the default one and those
- announced inside the default browsing domain). Please note
- that the user may specify additional browsing domains on the
- client side, either by setting $AVAHI_BROWSE_DOMAINS to a list
- of colon separated domains or by adding them to the XDG config
- file <file>~/.config/avahi/browse-domains</file> (separated by
- newlines).</p>
-
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>use-ipv4=</opt> Takes a boolean value ("yes" or
- "no"). If set to "no" avahi-daemon will not use IPv4
- sockets. Default is "yes".</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>use-ipv6=</opt> Takes a boolean value ("yes" or
- "no"). If set to "no" avahi-daemon will not use IPv6
- sockets. Default is "yes".</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>allow-interfaces=</opt> Set a comma separated list of
- allowed network interfaces that should be used by the
- avahi-daemon. Traffic on other interfaces will be ignored. If
- set to an empty list all local interfaces except loopback and
- point-to-point will be used.</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>deny-interfaces=</opt> Set a comma separated list of
- network interfaces that should be ignored by avahi-daemon.
- Other not specified interfaces will be used, unless
- <opt>allow-interfaces=</opt> is set. This option takes
- precedence over <opt>allow-interfaces=</opt>.</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>check-response-ttl=</opt> Takes a boolean value ("yes"
- or "no"). If set to "yes", an additional security check is
- activated: incoming IP packets will be ignored unless the IP
- TTL is 255. Earlier mDNS specifications required this
- check. Since this feature may be incompatible with newer
- implementations of mDNS it defaults to "no". On the other hand
- it provides extra security.</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>use-iff-running=</opt> Takes a boolean value ("yes" or
- "no"). If set to "yes" avahi-daemon monitors the IFF_RUNNING
- flag bit which is used by some (modern) network drivers to
- tell user space if a network cable is plugged in (in case of
- copper ethernet), or the network card is associated with some
- kind of network (in case of WLAN). If IFF_RUNNING is set
- avahi-daemon will automatically announce its services on that
- network. Unfortunately far too many network drivers do not
- support this flag or support it in a broken way. Therefore
- this option defaults to "no".</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>enable-dbus=</opt> Takes either "yes", "no" or
- "warn". If set to "yes" avahi-daemon connects to D-Bus,
- offering an object oriented client API. It is only available
- if Avahi has been compiled with <opt>--enable-dbus</opt> in
- which case it defaults to "yes". "warn" behaves like "yes",
- but the daemon starts up even when it fails to connect to a
- D-Bus daemon. In addition, if the connection to the D-Bus
- daemon is terminated we try to reconnect. (Unless we are in a
- chroot() environment where this definitely will fail.) </p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>disallow-other-stacks=</opt> Takes a boolean value
- ("yes" or "no"). If set to "yes" no other process is allowed
- to bind to UDP port 5353. This effectively impedes other mDNS
- stacks from running on the host. Use this as a security
- measure to make sure that only Avahi is responsible for mDNS
- traffic. Please note that we do not recommend running multiple
- mDNS stacks on the same host simultaneously. This hampers
- reliability and is a waste of resources. However, to not annoy
- people this option defaults to "no".</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>allow-point-to-point=</opt> Takes a boolean value
- ("yes" or "no"). If set to "yes" avahi-daemon will make use of
- interfaces with the POINTOPOINT flag set. This option defaults
- to "no" as it might make mDNS unreliable due to usually large
- latencies with such links and opens a potential security hole
- by allowing mDNS access from Internet connections. Use with
- care and YMMV!</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>cache-entries-max=</opt> Takes an unsigned integer
- specifying how many resource records are cached per
- interface. Bigger values allow mDNS work correctly in large LANs
- but also increase memory consumption.</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>clients-max=</opt> Takes an unsigned integer. The
- maximum number of concurrent D-Bus clients allowed. If the
- maximum number is reached further clients will be refused until
- at least one existing client disconnects.</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>objects-per-client-max=</opt> Takes an unsigned
- integer. The maximum number of objects (entry groups, browsers,
- resolvers) that may be registered per D-Bus client at a time. If the
- maximum number is reached further object creation will be
- refused until at least one object is freed.</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>entries-per-entry-group-max=</opt> Takes an unsigned
- integer. The maximum number of entries (resource records) per
- entry group registered by a D-Bus client at a time. If the
- maximum number is reached further resource records may not be
- added to an entry group.</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>ratelimit-interval-usec=</opt> Takes an unsigned
- integer. Sets the per-interface packet rate-limiting interval
- parameter. Together with <opt>ratelimit-burst=</opt> this may be
- used to control the maximum number of packets Avahi will
- generated in a specific period of time on an interface.</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>ratelimit-burst=</opt> Takes an unsigned
- integer. Sets the per-interface packet rate-limiting burst
- parameter. Together with <opt>ratelimit-interval-usec=</opt> this may be
- used to control the maximum number of packets Avahi will
- generated in a specific period of time on an interface.</p>
- </option>
- </section>
-
- <section name="Section [wide-area]">
- <option>
- <p><opt>enable-wide-area=</opt> Takes a boolean value
- ("yes" or "no"). Enable wide-area DNS-SD, aka
- DNS-SD over unicast DNS. If this is enabled only domains
- ending in .local will be resolved on mDNS, all other domains
- are resolved via unicast DNS. If you want to maintain multiple
- different multicast DNS domains even with this option enabled
- we encourage you to use subdomains of .local, such as
- "kitchen.local". This option defaults to "yes".</p>
- </option>
-
- </section>
-
- <section name="Section [publish]">
-
- <option><p><opt>disable-publishing=</opt> Takes a boolean value
- ("yes" or "no"). If set to "yes", no record will be published by
- Avahi, not even address records for the local host. Avahi will
- be started in a querying-only mode. Use this is a security
- measure. This option defaults to "no"</p></option>
-
- <option><p><opt>disable-user-service-publishing=</opt> Takes a boolean value
- ("yes" or "no"). If set to "yes", Avahi will still publish
- address records and suchlike but will not allow user
- applications to publish services. Use this is a security
- measure. This option defaults to "no"</p></option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>add-service-cookie=</opt> Takes a boolean value ("yes"
- or "no"). If set to "yes" an implicit TXT entry will be added
- to all locally registered services, containing a cookie value
- which is chosen randomly on daemon startup. This can be used
- to detect if two services on two different
- interfaces/protocols are actually identical. Defaults to
- "no".</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>publish-addresses=</opt> Takes a boolean value ("yes"
- or "no"). If set to "yes" avahi-daemon will register mDNS
- address records for all local IP addresses. Unless you want to
- use avahi-daemon exclusively for browsing it's recommended to
- enable this. If you plan to register local services you need
- to enable this option. Defaults to "yes".</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>publish-hinfo=</opt> Takes a boolean value ("yes" or
- "no"). If set to "yes" avahi-daemon will register an mDNS
- HINFO record on all interfaces which contains information
- about the local operating system and CPU, which might be
- useful for administrative purposes. This is recommended by the
- mDNS specification but not required. For the sake of privacy
- you might choose to disable this feature. Defaults to
- "no".</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>publish-workstation=</opt> Takes a boolean value
- ("yes" or "no"). If set to "yes" avahi-daemon will register a
- service of type "_workstation._tcp" on the local LAN. This
- might be useful for administrative purposes (i.e. browse for
- all PCs on the LAN), but is not required or recommended by any
- specification. Newer MacOS X releases register a service of
- this type. Defaults to "no".</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>publish-domain=</opt> Takes a boolean value ("yes" or
- "no"). If set to "yes" avahi-daemon will announce the locally
- used domain name (see above) for browsing by other
- hosts. Defaults to "yes".</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>publish-dns-servers=</opt> Takes a comma separated
- list of IP addresses for unicast DNS servers. You can use this
- to announce unicast DNS servers via mDNS. When used in
- conjunction with avahi-dnsconfd on the client
- side this allows DHCP-like configuration of unicast DNS
- servers.</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>publish-resolv-conf-dns-servers=</opt> Takes a boolean
- value ("yes" or "no"). If set to "yes" avahi-daemon will
- publish the unicast DNS servers specified in
- <file>/etc/resolv.conf</file> in addition to those specified
- with <opt>publish-dns-servers</opt>. Send avahi-daemon a
- SIGHUP to have it reload this file. Defaults to "no".</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>publish-aaaa-on-ipv4=</opt> Takes a boolean value
- ("yes" or "no"). If set to "yes" avahi-daemon will publish an
- IPv6 AAAA record via IPv4, i.e. the local IPv6 addresses can be
- resolved using an IPv4 transport. Only useful when IPv4 is
- enabled with <opt>use-ipv4=true</opt>. Defaults to "yes".</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>publish-a-on-ipv6=</opt> Takes a boolean value
- ("yes" or "no"). If set to "yes" avahi-daemon will publish an
- IPv4 A record via IPv6, i.e. the local IPv4 addresses can be
- resolved using an IPv6 transport. Only useful when IPv6 is
- enabled with <opt>use-ipv6=true</opt>. Defaults to "no".</p>
- </option>
-
- </section>
-
- <section name="Section [reflector]">
- <option>
- <p><opt>enable-reflector=</opt> Takes a boolean value ("yes"
- or "no"). If set to "yes" avahi-daemon will reflect incoming
- mDNS requests to all local network interfaces, effectively
- allowing clients to browse mDNS/DNS-SD services on all
- networks connected to the gateway. The gateway is somewhat
- intelligent and should work with all kinds of mDNS traffic,
- though some functionality is lost (specifically the unicast
- reply bit, which is used rarely anyway). Make sure to not run
- multiple reflectors between the same networks, this might
- cause them to play Ping Pong with mDNS packets. Defaults to
- "no".</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>reflect-ipv=</opt> Takes a boolean value ("yes" or
- "no"). If set to "yes" and <opt>enable-reflector</opt> is
- enabled, avahi-daemon will forward mDNS traffic between IPv4
- and IPv6, which is usually not recommended. Defaults to "no".</p>
- </option>
- </section>
-
- <section name="Section [rlimits]">
- <p>This section is used to define system resource limits for the
- daemon. See <manref section="2" name="setrlimit"/> for more
- information. If any of the options is not specified in the configuration
- file, avahi-daemon does not change it from the system
- defaults.</p>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>rlimit-as=</opt> Value in bytes for RLIMIT_AS (maximum size of the process's virtual memory). Sensible values are heavily system dependent.</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>rlimit-core=</opt> Value in bytes for RLIMIT_CORE (maximum core file size). Unless you want to debug avahi-daemon, it is safe to set this to 0.</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>rlimit-data=</opt> Value in bytes for RLIMIT_DATA (maximum size of the process's data segment). Sensible values are heavily system dependent.</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>rlimit-fsize=</opt> Value for RLIMIT_FSIZE (maximum size of files the process may create). Since avahi-daemon shouldn't write any files to disk, it is safe to set this to 0.</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>rlimit-nofile=</opt> Value for RLIMIT_NOFILE (open file descriptors). avahi-daemon shouldn't need more than 15 to 20 open file descriptors concurrently.</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>rlimit-stack=</opt> Value in bytes for RLIMIT_STACK (maximum size of the process stack). Sensible values are heavily system dependent.</p>
- </option>
-
- <option>
- <p><opt>rlimit-nproc=</opt> Value for RLIMIT_NPROC (number of process of user). avahi-daemon forks of a helper process on systems where <manref name="chroot" section="2"/> is available. Therefore this value should not be set below 2.</p>
