[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#419935: avahi-daemon: getent hosts work only root

Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.16-3etch1
Severity: important

It seems at avahi-daemon /var/run/avahi-daemon directory permissions are 
too restrictive 0700. So normal user can't solve addresees via getent 
hosts host.local because he/she can't connect socket. Example kongueror 
show services, but can't connect them. I change directory permissions to 
755 and now konqueror can connect services. Socket and pid permissions 
are right.

System is upgraded from sarge to etch and this is new package.

Regards, Riku
