      I'm new to pfsense, but from what I understand, the avahi package is currently broken in pfsense 2.2.

      The avahi-daemon looks for it's config file at:

      /usr/local/etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf

      You can verify this by running: /usr/pbi/avahi-amd64/sbin/avahi-daemon –help

      But the GUI writes the config file to:

      /usr/pbi/avahi-amd64/etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf

      Also the script /usr/local/etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon.sh calls the daemon with no config file path specified:

      /usr/pbi/avahi-amd64/sbin/avahi-daemon -D

      I don't know enough about pfsense on how to create an upstream fix, but locally I created a symlink:

      ln -s /usr/pbi/avahi-amd64/etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf /usr/local/etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf
