Mailing List Archive: Contrib: minor change in ospf

Hello,
we are using zebra/quagga in free MAN network based on WiFi in Czech
Republic. In all our router's ospfd we use the same password (read only
access) known to other administrators. They can telnet to other ospfd-s and
go see "show ip ospf ..." there.

We felt that the "show ip ospf interface" command should print out the
interface's description, too. Otherwise, it's presence in ospfd.conf seems to
be useless. I've done this in file ospf_vty.c from release 0.96.2 of quagga.

In function show_ip_ospf_interface_sub(), after line 2564, insert:
----------
/* Show OSPF interface information. */
if (ifp->desc)
vty_out (vty, " description %s%s", ifp->desc,
VTY_NEWLINE);
----------
I will be very happy to see this feature in next release of quagga.

well, its printed out in the config file - ie its purpose is to
document the config file.

I've no objections, other than people might be parsing output of show
interface and not like it to change too much. can anyone comment?
