i'm lost. I can't get mrouted on freebsd to do anything except quit. 
Release is freebsd 2.1R, options MROUTE is on in the kernel. 

Here's a sample ifconfig -a
lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ep0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500
        inet 130.33.10.216 netmask 0xfffff800 broadcast 130.33.15.255
lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552
tun0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

OK, i have two at least multicast capable interfaces. BUT, my ep0 is not 
multicast capable. Is this because it can broadcast? there's no ifconfig 
option to set multicast ...

next: 
tres# mrouted -d 3
debug level 3
16:01:11.441 mrouted version 3.6
16:01:11.457 Getting vifs from kernel interfaces
16:01:11.458 Getting vifs from /etc/mrouted.conf
16:01:11.460 can't forward: no enabled vifs

no enable vifs? garg. Looking in mrouted source leads me to believe it 
should find at least lp0 and sl0 above. Geez, i'm really in the dark. Any 
hints would help. I haven't found anything helpful on the cdrom yet.

thanks
ron
