+                                   SUMMARY
+
+
+LG is a Looking Glass written in Perl as a CGI script. It can execute almost
+all BGP-related commands and do ping and traceroute in routers or relay these
+queries to other looking glasses. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 commands,
+and is tested with Cisco and Zebra. It can connect to router using either
+telnet or rsh.
+
+LG is released under GPL licence. Look at COPYING file.
+
+
+
+                                   INSTALL
+
+
+This example assumes that you use Apache webserver and LG will be installed
+to /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/lg directory.
+
+
+1. Create directory where you want to keep LG files
+
+mkdir /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/lg
+
+2. Copy lg.cgi, as.txt, as-apnic.txt, as-arin.txt, as-ripe.txt, lg.conf and
+favicon.ico to this directory, make CGI executable
+
+cp lg.cgi as*.txt lg.conf favicon.ico /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/lg
+chmod 644 /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/lg/*
+chmod 755 /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/lg/lg.cgi
+
+3. Add these lines to your webserver config (In SuSE it is located at
+/etc/httpd/httpd.conf or /etc/httpd/suse_include.conf). The order of these
+lines is VERY IMPORTANT
+
+Alias /lg/favicon.ico /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/lg/favicon.ico
+ScriptAlias /lg /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/lg/lg.cgi
+
+4. Restart webserver
+
+killall -1 httpd
+
+5. DONE!
+
+
+
+                            ADVANCED CONFIURATION
+
+
+You can generate as-apnic.txt, as-arin.txt and as-ripe.txt files yourself.
+Just run Perl script makeaslist.pl and it creates these three files in your
+current directory. It is recommended to update these files sometimes to get
+fresh information about new AS numbers.
+
+You can also edit as.txt file. These three autogenerated files are included
+at the beginning of as.txt file. All lines below just overwrites previous
+ones. This means that you can put any better names for AS numbers to this file
+and will see it instead of these autogenerated names (which are quite hard to
+understand some times).
+
+A little bit about lg.conf file. In this example all logins are replaced with
+"login" and passwords with "password". These lines are also commented out, so
+you can use this configuration file even without any modification.
+
+As long as the configuration file is quite simple, I don't give here any help
+how to configure LG. Just look at lg.conf, all possible ways how to configure
+it, are shown in ths file already ;-)
+
+Default logfile is /var/log/lg.log, be sure that your webserver can write
+it or use any other file (or don't use art all).
+
+
+
+                                    NOTES
+
+
+Don't try to use LG sites with newer DIGEX code as external LG sites. These
+will check Referer and therefore deny all outside links.
+
+There are also some LG sites which support only POST method and are also
+unusable. LG can forward browsers to any other address but can't send POST
+data with it. It is possible to act as proxy for these sites but this is not
+implemented yet and I'm not sure it is neccessary at all. At least at the
+current moment ;-)
