[AG-TECH] Bringing home the beacon

   Just a reminder that when you rebuild your nodes (e.g. if you are
installing the new AGiB final release candidate or Release 1.0) don't
forget about your multicast beacon.  While the beacon software is
installed in the linux distribution it is NOT automatically started on
boot.  If you normally run a beacon on your node (and you should!) you
need to log in as root on the machine you want to use and enter

chkconfig --level 345 nlanr-beacon on 

This will start the beacon the next time you reboot.  (There are
probably other ways to do this but I've used this command on the AGiB
stuff and it seems to work).
