Description

Avahi package version 0.6.31 pkg v1.06 has a bug which prevents it from working. This bug should be easy to fix. I have already tracked down the problem, and have found a fix from the command prompt, but it needs to be "re-fixed" after every reboot of pfSense.

The problem stems from a missing folder: /var/run/dbus/ , which needs to be chown'd by system user [messagebus]. Adding this folder allows the dbus-daemon to run, which in turn allows avahi-daemon to start.

I would submit a patch myself, except that I don't know which file(s) need to be patched to automate the process.
