I have Avahi port installed due to a dependency. I recently noticed that my system.log contains this repeated every 10 seconds: Feb 2 14:16:35 Macintosh org.freedesktop.avahi-dnsconfd[808]: connect(): No such file or directory Feb 2 14:16:35 Macintosh org.freedesktop.avahi-dnsconfd[808]: Failed to connect to the daemon.

Any suggestions about why and what to do about it? I am not even sure if this is really a macports issue or an avahi issue, but I figured that this is the right place to start. It looks like something is perhaps not installed or configured correctly? Thanks, --Adam
