Hey there,
I just installed samba-4.9.5 on Solaris/OpenIndiana via the package management system of OpenIndiana.
It seems that I have an issue with avahi...
Samba advertises itself as a _smb service and can be browsed, however the „fruit“ services for apple do to seem to be propagated right.
Doing an "avahi-browse -a" on the OpenIndiana server shows:
root at OpenIndiana[~] avahi-browse -a
+ rge0 n/a 70-35-60-63.1 AppleTV _sleep-proxy._udp. local.
+ rge0 n/a 2C0B2DB30EDE868767DDB3DCDB7B3D60964618F1 _touch-able._tcp. local.

+ rge0 n/a MacbookPro _ssh._tcp. local.
+ rge0 n/a MacbookPro _sftp-ssh._tcp. local.
+ rge0 n/a wutz _smb._tcp. local.
There is no „_adisk“ and no „_device-info“ service… Even after waiting some time.
Doing an "dns-sd -B _services._dns-sd._udp" on the Mac client does not show the services either:
user at MacbookPro[~] dns-sd -B _services._dns-sd._udp

Am I doing something wrong here?
I stumbled in to that just because I wanted to add the device-info icon for the Finder. I know that there was a bug fix done for samba-4.9.5 that was reported to work by gd.
Nevertheless, there is no effect on my Mac.
Any help to understand the issue and avahi/dns-sd/zeroconf and get the solution is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
