message and give an opinion as to whether the identification of the
problem and the fix is correct?

-------------------------

Hello,

I am trying to enable dynamic routing on a simple network of tunnels on
freebsd.

A o--------o B
| |
| |
C o--------o D


All links are ipip tunnels (i.e., gifs). I would like all traffic to
remain within the tunnels and not leak routes into or out of the network.
I installed net/zebra-pj port and created configuration files given below.
The ripd seems to not announce any routes at all.

When I debugged it a little more, I found that rip_interface_address_add()
used to call rip_enable_apply(ifp) in 0.93b version of zebra but this
latter function does not get called in 0.94 version of zebra-pj. This
function is crucial to set the "running" bit on the internal data
structure corresponding to the interfaces. ripd daemon seems to be
waiting for the interface "UP" message from the zebra on interfaces
which it never gets.

What is the issue here?

thanks.

yes, indeed the fix is correct. I think sowmini.varadhan@sun.com
pushed it on to me as part of a set of ripd fixes. can you try Quagga
CVS, it should work for you (alternatively, wait a wee while and
there should be a 0.96.3 release).
