I did find a "Should-start: avahi-daemon" comment in the libvirtd init script, so maybe that is the source.
Shouldn't be. 'Should-start' means 'if this other service is enabled, it should be started before this one': it's not a strict dependency, 'this other service MUST be started before this one'.
Yea, changing the comment there didn't fix anything, but it was a good hint since I finally found the "mdns_adv" setting in the libvirtd.conf file and uncommenting it did finally squash avahi-daemon :-).
I'm wondering if this means that libvirt should change any of its policies about auto-starting avahi-daemon, or at the very least, if there is a documentation shortcoming on why libvirt defaults to enabling this and when you might want to change that default. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
