I think you misunderstood the problem. OpenSLP is a daemon that can announce 
services on the network. However it does not create those service 
registrations itself, but the servers that offer them must OpenSLP register 
them (using a library). If, for example, CUPS wants to announce printers on 
the network it registers a service for each available printer while booting. 
It will then take care about those registrations, renew them before they time 
out, change them when the parameters of a printer changes and delete them 
when a printer is not available anymore.

Does nxserver (or some other daemon that knows about NX) run even when no 
client is connected?
