Yeah, general discovery. From the top of my head:
- Pulseaudio sinks and sources
- libvirt instances for virt-manager
- VNC desktops for Vinagre
- local web pages (think SOHO router config page) for zeroconf
enabled Webbrowsers like Epiphany
- remote disk management (udisks)
- local FTP sites and WebDAV shares shown in nautilus places
And this is all blocked by default Fedora firewall settings (5353/udp).
I'm confused - are any of the above intended to be used/available by
anyone who is NOT experienced enough to know what iptables are and how
to manage them? B/c I think it's a bit unlikely.
