Hello everyone,
I have installed net/mDNSResponder from ports in order to advertise a TimeCapsule via Bonjour to my Macs in my lan. The Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) is provided by the installed net/netatalk3 port. The AFP is tested and working OK meaning I can access the provided AFP shares manually via the Mac OS Finder (afp://ip:share).
The startup script has also been installed under /usr/local/etc/mdnsresponder
The appropriate entries are passed in /etc/rc.conf
where the configuration file /usr/local/etc/mdnsresponder.conf has the following entries
The /usr/local/bin/mDNSResponderPosix bin either called by the rc.d script via the command
or called directly with the command
is NOT running (no PID file created under /var/run, neither a
Enabling verbose output and advertising a test service via the command
outputs the following
but once again no PID file is created and there is not such process at the output of
The mDNSResponderPosix is not running.
I have tried to deinstall and reinstall the port. I have deinstalled the port and installed a precompiled binary via the pkg system. I have even tried
to force a recompile of the port and dependencies with no luck.
The mDNSResponder service was running just fine until a couple of days ago to my old FreeBSD 9.1 amd64 server which I have just (hardware) upgraded and decided to clean install FreeBSD 11 amd64.
Just in case you might ask, there is NOT a single 'local' domain in any of my lan machines.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your time.
