Comment 2 for bug 786813

But avahi is only default for desktop distro.

Samba (SMBD) is more suitable for file server.

I think is better disable avahi and include on samba package a avahi service file:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?>
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
<service-group>
   <name replace-wildcards="yes">Samba Shares on %h</name>
   <service>
       <type>_smb._tcp</type>
       <port>139</port>
   </service>
</service-group>
