What is minissdp

[Opperpanter]

Hello,

I am running Debian squeeze and just upgrade my Transmission to the one from expiremental (2.32).

I noticed that a new deamon is installed, minissdpd. Something with UPnP.

Since I don't want anything todo with UPnP, I'd like to get rid of it.

Can I just uninstall minissdp(d)? Or at least stop/kill it?

I couldn't find any UPnP config in the settings.json, but would I need to disable something in transmission as well?

Thanks!

yes in settings.json you can disable UPnP (automatic port forwarding) :

Code: Select all

"port-forwarding-enabled": false,

i don't use it either. i run debian also but when compiling from source i don't see the minissdp(d) thing.

I already had that one disabled, I remember something like that. Maybe I disabled it earlier.

I uninstalled the minissdp package, and transmission is still running fine.

Thanks.

that's interesting, minissdp must be something new the debian maintainers cooked up.
