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

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 no recommend running multiple
+ 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>
we encourage you to use subdomains of .local, such as
"kitchen.local". This option defaults to "yes".</p>
