Mah >Organization: Sandia National Laboratories >Release: FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE i386 >Environment: Current version of FAQ. >Description: The answer to FAQ 10.15 on enabling IP multicast routing specifies a procedure that hasn't worked since around 2.1.0-RELEASE (the LKM ip_mrouted_mod isn't even built nowadays). >How-To-Repeat: RTFFAQ. :-) >Fix: Suggested new text for the first paragraph: Multicast host operations are fully supported in FreeBSD 2.0 and above by default. If you want your box to run as a multicast router, you will need to recompile your kernel with the MROUTING option and run mrouted. FreeBSD 2.2 and newer can run mrouted at boot time by setting mrouted_enable to "YES" in /etc/rc.conf. MBONE tools are available in their own ports category... >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
