General info
------------
     You will need to have a License PAK with a release date after the date of
  PMDFSHR.EXE or libpmdf.so to run PMDF.  Note that this may apply to other
  images as well.

     Patches may be obtained from the anonymous FTP account on
  ftp.pmdf.process.com.  Use FTP to connect to the host ftp.pmdf.process.com
  and login as the user anonymous.  Use your e-mail address as the login 
  password.

     Move to the pmdf_632_patches subdirectory:

        ftp> cd pmdf_632_patches

     Patches will be located in platform-specific sub-trees, as follows:

        Platform        Subdirectory
        --------        ------------
	Linux		linux

     When FTPing images, be sure to FTP them as binary.  Before retrieving
  such an image with the GET command, be sure to put your FTP into binary
  mode with a command such as TYPE IMAGE or TYPE BINARY.

Installation
------------
Linux

	Before installing a new libpmdf.so, issue the following command:

		# pmdf shutdown

	Failure to issue the above command could result in the current
	processes not recognizing commands (i.e. restart and shutdown) with
	the new libpmdf.so in place.

	To install the new shared library, place it into the /pmdf/lib/
	directory and then execute the following commands:
        
		# chown pmdf:bin /pmdf/lib/libpmdf.so
		# chmod 755 /pmdf/lib/libpmdf.so

        If you are using SELinux, make sure to execute the "chcon" command on
	the new libpmdf.so:

		# chcon -t texrel_shlib_t /pmdf/lib/libpmdf.so

	In some cases new versions of libpmdf.so may alter the format of
	compiled configurations. When this happens recompilation is also
	necessary:
 
		# pmdf cnbuild

	Failure to recompile the configuration after installing new versions
	of libpmdf.so may lead to "compiled configuration version mismatch"
	errors.

	Next, be sure to start PMDF by issuing the following command:

		# pmdf startup
