            Bug ID: 293406
           Summary: dns/mDNSResponderPosix: No out-of-box means of
                    advertising "workstation" record.
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: bms@FreeBSD.org

I had to resort to borrowing rc scripts from a GitHub
repository just to advertise a "workstation" record via the dns-sd command
so as to see the FreeBSD instance in mDNS; something the system should
support out-of-the-box in 2026, as Windows 11 and many Linux distributions
already do.

I use the mdns_ws at https://github.com/krolingo/mDNSResponder_on_FreeBSD for
the moment with minor changes. They can't be merged to ports as-is -- in
particular there's a blatant security gap where the author isn't wrapping
dns-sd invocation with daemon(8), or being able to chroot() -- and it's
something that should really be done within the existing package.
