+mt-daapd is an iTunes server for POSIX systems. When run, iTunes will see the
+music as a shared library to other clients on the LAN, just as the OS X and
+Windows clients.
+
+To work properly, the music must be located on the same filesystem on which
+the daemon is running. Also, a template has been placed in /etc/mt-daapd.conf
+This file should be edited before the daemon is run.
+
+An init script has been included for the daemon; to run at boot time, add the
+following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.mt-daapd ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.mt-daapd start
+ fi
+
+You might also want to have the daemon shut down gracefully on system halt or
+reboot; if so, add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown:
+
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.mt-daapd ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.mt-daapd stop
+ fi
