Hi All The attached patch provides an RPM spec file with systemd integration, rather than sysv init. I have tested it on Fedora 20 and 21. Note that this spec file includes: %global _hardened_build 1 Which automatically adds security hardening compiler flags. Thanks David

Problem with interfaces and routes on _one_ Debian sid system
by jimpenny＠ykk-usa.com 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

I have bird installed on 7 Debian Sid systems with 3.16.0-4 kernel. On 6 of these systems it works fine. On the last, running bird -d shows every non-kernel route with a message that looks like: bird: KRT: Receive route ... with unknown ifindex ... When I go into birdc and do show interfaces, I receive an empty list. ip link and ip route show the expected interfaces and routes. So, can you give me any hints on how to debug this? Where does bird get its interfaces and routes from on linux? Thanks jim

OSPF type broadcast over GRE for NRHP
by Clint Armstrong 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

I am trying to use BIRD to run OSPF inside a Phase 3 DMVPN using OpenNHRP. The problem I'm seeing is that it appears to be impossible to force type broadcast on a GRE interface. When I try, the message "Cannot use interface gre1 as broadcast, forcing nbma" is logged. This may normally make sense, but the OpenNHRP daemon captures multicast traffic on it's interface and forwards it appropriately. A configuration parameter to bypass this protection and allow broadcast on a GRE interface would be very helpful.
