Description Brendan Molloy 2015-12-13 05:04:12 UTC 
I have added a line to my /usr/local/rc.d/avahi-daemon to ensure it runs before mountd:

# BEFORE:  mountd

If I don't do this, and I am using avahi for local domain resolution (eg nas.local), it fails to resolve and breaks due to mountd loading before avahi-daemon has.

There may be a better way to solve this, but this is how I fixed it. :)

Hello Brendan. Many thanks for your feedback about the issue. Could you provide ansvn diff against the current ports rcd script? It would be very much appreciated.

Any update on this one?

Some lines are changed in the initscript.  But not BEFORE..
Is this still relevant?

Comment 6 mvharding 2018-08-17 03:52:38 UTC 
This patch keeps avahi-daemon from running at all.  According to https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/rc-scripting/article.html, 'BEFORE:' means 'mountd' will run before avahi-daemon, not after.  'rcorder' also now shows a loop, and avahi-daemon goes down in flames since it can't find the dbus socket.  More details tomorrow AM.
Comment 7 mvharding 2018-08-17 04:00:48 UTC 
Sorry, I misspoke about 'BEFORE:' but rcorder generates a loop so rcorder can't figure out what order to run things in. This may be happening on my system because I have gnome or other things installed.  I'll post the 'rcorder' output tomorrow when I have a chance to boot the machine up.

Brendan,

Are you able to dive into this some more?  I think we would need to remove DAEMON from the dbus REQUIRE list, but am unable to dive into what else this might affect at the moment.
