[lxc-devel] Running avahi in multiple containers: fork() failed: Resource temporarily unavailable

Right, so I guess enabling them by default isn't a good idea right now
:-)

It seems I don't even need a custom package, I can just disable the
nproc limit by uncommenting rlimit-nproc in avahi-daemon.conf (as
suggested by a blog post about the same issue [1]).

Thanks for the clarification, my issue is solved now, without the need
for any patched binaries :-)
