slpd must run on your system to offer services with SLP. If the machine
should only operate as client, and does not offer services, it is not
necessary to run slpd. Like most system services in openSUSE, the
slpd daemon is controlled by means of a separate init
script. After the installation, the daemon is inactive by default. To
activate it temporarily, run
rcslpd start as
root or
rcslpd stop to stop it. Perform
a restart or status check with restart or
status. If slpd should be always active after booting,
enable slpd in YaST + or run the
insserv slpd command as
root. This includes slpd in the
set of services to be started at boot time.
