I followed exactly the proceedure described in 
http://www.section6.net/help/daapd.php and got this error when I 
started mdns.sh.

cannot create /var/log/mdns.log: Permission denied

I also should note that the port /usr/port/net/mDNSResponder now puts a 
file mdns.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d which starts

/usr/local/sbin/mdnsd

so I am more confused.
