Avahi-daemon Error Messages that May be Solved by Editing the Configuration File

My /var/log/syslog file has been displaying some messages related to the avahi-daemon that warrant investigation. Though, the messages below are in the syslog file, I have not noticed any problem with the operation of the computer.

Quote:

No service file found in /etc/avahi/services. avahi-daemon.service: Failed with result 'timeout'. Failed to start Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Stack.

The avahi-daemon manpage has not been that informative and unfortunately lacked usable examples.

Quote:

host-name= Set the host name avahi-daemon tries to register on the LAN. If omited defaults to the system host name as set with the sethostname() system call. domain-name= Set the default domain name avahi-daemon tries to register its host name and services on the LAN in. If omitted defaults to ".local".

I took a wild stab and used the domain-name identified on my router. For the host-name, I used localhost. I was unable to find an example of a "properly configured" /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf file. See my file below.
