[SOLVED] avahi-daemon unable to start

Hello, on boot I see this error:

:: Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon                                                [FAIL]

I checked rc.conf and avahi-daemon is set after dbus and hal (like is said in arch's wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Avahi)

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond dbus hal iptables fam gdm dnsmasq pulseaudio avahi-daemon)

I tried to restart avahi manual but no effect:

root@phr33d0m /home/n0ks # /etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon restart
:: Stopping Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon                                                                          [FAIL] 
:: Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon                                                                          [FAIL]

Any ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] avahi-daemon unable to start

I think I fixed it... :\

root@phr33d0m /home/n0ks # avahi-daemon -D
root@phr33d0m /home/n0ks # /etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon reload
:: Reloading services for Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon                                                                                                    [DONE] 
root@phr33d0m /home/n0ks # /etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon restart
:: Stopping Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon                                                                                                                  [DONE] 
:: Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon                                                                                                                  [DONE]

So I think of removing avahi-daemon from DAEMONS (rc.conf) and putting it in rc.local like avahi-daemon -D :\ ...

EDIT: I'll mark it like SOLVED but I still don't think this is the way it should be...
