Maemo PC Connectivity automatically announces Samba shares, NFS shares, [[SSH]], X11VNC and SBRSH through Avahi. Due to this, host PCs can easily find the services available from a Maemo device. Avahi is an open-source implementation of the ZeroConf. It is used to facilitate the discovery of services on a local network. It allows a Maemo device to publish and discover services and hosts running on a local network with no specific configuration. For example, you can plug in a Maemo device to a network and a Linux or Mac OS X host PC instantly finds disk shares and other network services running on your Maemo device.
