Re: Configuring a Bonjour host name

[Jared McNeill <jmcneill%invisible.ca@localhost>]

To advertise yourself on the network, put "mdnsd=YES" in rc.conf

For looking up other hosts from the RPI, set "hosts: files multicast_dns 
dns" in nsswitch.conf

Cheers,
Jared

However, it’s not obvious to me how to configure mdnsd to respond to queries for the RPI’s host name.  The host name is configured as “nixie-dev”, and I’d like to be able to connect to the RPI using “nixie-dev.local”.
