Issue

  • Server logging every 30minutes the following message:
Packet too short or invalid while reading response record. (Maybe an UTF8 problem?)
  • I want to know how to tell if we need the avahi-daemon and if these errors could cause connection drops with VNC.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
  • avahi-daemon
