I have a server I've discovered from a Manjaro client using avahi named unaha-closp. However, when I ping it I get:

ping: unaha-closp.local: Name or service not known

In /etc/nsswitch.conf my hosts line is:

hosts: mymachines mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] files myhostname dns

What is going on?

After running strace getent hosts unaha-closp.local on a machine which worked and the machine that didn't, it turns out the machine that didn't work never accessed avahi at all. I was missing the nss-mdns plugin, which I got using:

sudo pamac install --no-upgrade nss-mdns
