     authenticate  Authenticate peer using TCP MD5 signature - needs options
                   TCP_SIGNATURE.  Default: off

EXAMPLES
     The following is an example /etc/ldpd.conf file:

     # Transport address needs to be an alias for this interface
     interface re0 {
             transport-address 192.168.2.2
     }

     # Don't send hellos on en0
     interface en0 {
             passive
     }

     # Force a certain LDP ID
     ldp-id 10.5.1.1;

     # Tag also the default route
     no-default-route 0;

     neighbour 192.168.2.1 {
