The share is then published to all +computers on the local network using mDNS/rendezvous, so that it shows +up in the Network location in Gnome. + +The dav server used is apache, so you need that installed. Avahi or +Howl is used for mDNS support, so you need to have that installed and +mDNSResolver running. + +Note: On Slackware the gnome-user-share daemon must be started and +stopped manually. There are controls to start/stop the daemon in the +gnome-control-center "Sharing" panel, but these controls are hard-coded +to talk to systemd and will not start/stop the daemon. Instead, the +daemon can be run directly from its installed path of: + + /usr/libexec/gnome-user-share-webdav + |
