avahi keeps trying and failing to register new address when publishing is disabled about avahi HOT 3 CLOSED

I have included fix for this (simply suppressing the warning message) in my pull request #62 so if that ever gets merged this will be fixed.

I spent a lot of time looking at the source and tracking down the root cause. Essentially a lower level function is checking for disable-publishing and if it is set then aborts out with a "not permitted" error (because you have asked to disable publishing!). Everything unwinds cleanly. So this is not an error (and indeed the message is a warning, not an error) but as it does clutter up syslog and perhaps cause undue alarm. So I added a patch to my existing pull request to suppress the warning. Note that the "Registering new address" info messages will still be logged.

Frequency of this message is not determined by avahi... it is triggered by some sort of change at the network interface.

Same here, when I set

disable-publishing=yes

I also get those errors in syslog. Setting it to no makes them vanish.

As far as I can tell it was addressed in 2e42c64. Closing.
