Unable to get Bird 2 to listen on the BGP socket

Yes,  absolutely nothing appears to be binded according to netstat and nmap.

I only saw bird bind the control socket when debugging with strace.

The logs only has the "Waiting for fe80:10::1%wg1 to bocame my neighbor". 

The user is root,  and I can ping/nmap fine over the tunnel.
