The search has now produced the following:-
Aug 7 19-30 raspberry avahi-daemon[2377] Joining mdns multicast group 
on interface wlan0. ipv4 with address 192.168.1.95
"" etc"" Registering new address for 192.168.1.95 on wlan0. ipv4
"" etc"" Listening normally on 3 wlan0 192.168.1.95 UDP 123

Can anyone make any sense of this ?
