                     15:                SunOS-4.1.3, SGI, BSDI-3.0, BSDI-3.1

                     17: 
                     18: FAST START (read "fast explanation" :))
                     19: 
                     20: 1. Apply the PIM kernel patches, recompile, reboot.
                     21:    These contain necessary bug fixes to the ipmroute kernel code as well 
                     22:    as stuff needed only for PIM-SM.
                     23: 
                     24: 2. Copy pimdd.conf to /etc and edit as appropriate. Disable the interfaces
                     25: you don't need. Note that you need at least 2 physical interfaces enabled.
                     26: 
                     27: 3. Edit Makefile by uncommenting the line(s) corresponding to your platform.
                     28: 
                     29: 4. Recompile pimdd (you need to have the 'include' files patches applied)
                     30: 
                     31: 5. Run pimdd as a root. It is highly recommended to run it in debug mode.
                     32: Because there are many debug messages, you can specify only a subset of
                     33: the messages to be printed out:
                     34: 
                     35: usage: pimdd [-c configfile] [-d [debug_level][,debug_level]]
                     36: 
                     37: Valid debug levels: dvmrp_prunes,dvmrp_mrt,dvmrp_neighbors,dvmrp_timers,igmp_proto,igmp_timers,igmp_members,trace,timeout,pkt,interfaces,kernel,cache,rsrr,pim_hello,pim_register,pim_join_prune,pim_graft,pim_bootstrap,pim_asserts,pim_cand_rp,pim_routes,pim_timers,pim_rpf
                     38: 
                     39: If you want to see all messages, use "pimd -d" only.
                     40: 
                     41: 6. There are plenty of bugs, some of them known (check BUGS.TODO),
                     42: some of them unknown, so your bug reports are mroe than welcome.
