First, this appears not to be a problem with XORP alone but so far as I can 
tell every implementation of the protocol stack and Linux 2.6, aka zebra 
and GATED (commerical) have the same problem.  PIM doesnt seem to reply to 
hello messages, aka no multicast routing is successful.  Yes, this isnt 
much and I apologies for what little information I'm giving here, just 
havent had the time to collect much more at this point.  What I really 
would like to know is.... has anyone heard of multicast problems with Linux 
2.6 in general.  What I have heard, via rumor mill, is there is a fix, 
something to do with how the API has changed in Linux 2.6 and the mutlicast 
process.

thanks...chris
