Hi Harald,

Test 1
---------
1. Download the smb.service file that is attached above.
2. Add this file to the the path /etc/avahi/services/ respecting the permissions
3. install and run the avahi-browse tool.
4. Compare the difference between the zeroconf:/ ioslave output and the avahi-browse output.

You will see that the service you have just added shows in avahi-browse but not in the zeroconf:/ ioslave.

Test 2
---------
1. Use the text:

<service-group>

   <name replace-wildcards="yes">Remote Terminal on %h</name>

   <service>
     <type>_ssh._tcp</type>
     <port>22</port>
   </service>

to create a file called ssh.service.
2. Add this file to the the path /etc/avahi/services/ respecting the permissions.
3. Install and run the avahi-browse tool.
4. Compare the difference between the Zeroconf:/ ioslave output and the avahi-browse output.

The file you have just added will show in the zeroconf:/ ioslave as a fish service and not an ssh service. When we look at the out-put from the avahi-browse tool it shows it correctly as a ssh service.

What I expect
--------------------
The zeroconf:/ ioslave
1. To display all the services that are on offer.
2. To show services as they are identified in the service file and not something else.

Further Information
---------------------------
I have tried this in the KDE 4.1 release, the KDE 4.2 beta release, the KDE RC1 with the Kubuntu packages and the Neon nightly releases and it doesn't work properly. I can send screen shots if you are still having difficulty reproducing the fault.

Thank you Harald I am pleased this is getting some attention.
