Hi,

I've been running a Pi with Raspbian & an external USB drive as a sort
of home server for about 2 months.  In the past 2 or 3 days only, & in
short bursts, minissdpd has started putting stuff in the syslog like

24 devices removed (good-bye!)

device not found for removing : uuid:[...]:urn:[...]
(repeated many times with some repetition & variation in the [...]
bits)

16 new devices added


There doesn't seem to be much information on the WWW about this
service or what I would want to use it for.  Should I just disable the
daemon in '/etc/defaults/minissdpd', or remove the package?  What do
the messages tell me about stuff happening on my LAN?  Why have they
only just started appearing?

Thanks.
