avahi-browse prints human readable output that is confusing
Issue
- If you look at the avahi services directory it should be announcing the SSH service.
$ cat /etc/avahi/services/ssh.service
<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*-->
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
<!-- $Id$ -->
--snip--
<!-- See avahi.service(5) for more information about this configuration file -->
<service-group>
<name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name>
<service>
<type>_ssh._tcp</type>
<port>22</port>
</service>
</service-group>
- However when you do a avahi-browse it doesn't appear as _ssh._tcp it appears like "SSH Remote Terminal"
$ avahi-browse -ta
+ wlan0 IPv4 host SSH Remote Terminal local
- This is confusing as output doesn't match what is in the configuration file.
