mdns name advertisment and resolution do not work

[Andy Whitcroft]

The machine is not advertising its name (other machines cannot use foo.local), and resolution of foo.local names is also not possible. The avahi daemons do seem to be running:

    avahi 754 1 0 11:15 ? 00:00:00 avahi-daemon: running [agent57.local]
    avahi 755 754 0 11:15 ? 00:00:00 avahi-daemon: chroot helper
