slpd must run on your system to offer services with SLP. It is not necessary
to start this daemon simply to make service inquiries.
Like most system services in openSUSE, the
slpd daemon is controlled by means of a
separate init script.
The daemon is inactive by default. To activate it for
the duration of a session, run
rcslpd start
as
root
to start it and
rcslpd stop
to stop
it. Perform a restart or status check with
restart
or status
. If
slpd should be active by default, enable slpd in
YaST +
or run the insserv slpd
command
once as root
. This
automatically includes slpd in the set
of services to start when the system boots.
