Description Christopher Prats 2021-10-15 20:25:15 CEST

Software Description:
wsdd implements a Web Service Discovery host daemon. This enables (Samba) hosts, like your local NAS device, to be found by Web Service Discovery Clients like Windows.

It also implements the client side of the discovery protocol which allows to search for Windows machines and other devices implementing WSD. This mode of operation is called discovery mode.

This will allow Mageia samba servers to be discoverable by Windows 10 and newer clients from the network page in explorer.exe
