+DOC_CONTENTS="Micro-HOWTO on how to get running:
+
+1) Modify MAILPREFIX, ADMINMAILPREFIX, and LIST_OF_GROUPS
+in /etc/rancid.conf:
+MAILPREFIX=\"rancid-\"
+ADMINMAILPREFIX=\"rancid-admin-\"
+LIST_OF_GROUPS=\"routers switches\"
+
+2) Setup email aliases for rancid:
+you will need to define mail aliases for {MAILPREFIX}{GROUP}
+and {ADMINMAILPREFIX}{GROUP} for each group you defined above
+How to do this depends on your mailserver
+
+3) Run rancid-cvs as the rancid user to initialise directories and
+repositories; eg. su -c /usr/bin/rancid-cvs - rancid
+Note the command is the same even if you are using subversion
+
+4) Populate /var/rancid/{GROUPNAME}/router.db with nodes
+see man 5 router.db for detailed formatting information
+
+5) Populate /var/rancid/.cloginrc with credentials
+see /usr/share/rancid/cloginrc.sample for an example
+
+6) Test clogin access with: clogin -f /var/rancid/.clogin hostname
+
+7) Add a cronjob for the rancid user to regularly call rancid-run
+eg: run crontab -u rancid -e and add the lines below
+# run rancid once an hour
+0 * * * * /usr/bin/rancid-run
+# cleanup old logfiles generated by rancid once a day
+50 23 * * * /usr/bin/find /var/rancid/logs -type f -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \;
