Thanks for the input Up and running with Avahi and FreeBSD 9.0.

Take a look at my site – I have completed the list of supported “models” by running through the plist file on a MacOSX Lion.

Hi !

Where is the config file located ? On which position should I add ? When I change the file in /etc/rc.d/ or in /var/etc/ the changes are gone after rebooting the machine.

Thanks

Hi Nils,

Did you ever get your tests with modifying the Info.plist file to work? I want to add a custom icon to Finder for a remote device mounted onto my Snow Leopard Mac. My device’s Avahi/AFP service config contains “model=DeviceX”. And I’ve copied my DeviceX.icns file into /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources. But I haven’t figured out what changes I need to make to the Info.plist. If you have any suggestions for me, let me know. Thanks.

By the way, if anyone else has suggestions for me, I’d appreciate hearing them.

Mark

You can also let your device come up as a nifty iPhone icon by using the iPhone2,1 identifier. Very nice

Adi, you can do the same with mDNSresponder by adding the following to the config file:

your-machines-hostname
_device-info._tcp.
1
model=Xserve
