In fact, avahi-daemon is supposed to be run as root user (for a short while) 
but
after that it switches to 'avahi' group/user. This is actually how avahi 
works.
As far as I can understand, we need to have both groups - 'netdev' and 
'avahi' -
and avahi ./configured --with-avahi-group=avahi.

Why switch to nogroup?
