Hi Bird users,
I'm setting up a bird test router, using bird 1.3.9 on debian squeeze (backport of the packages in unstable).
It seems I cannot get bird to listen on tcp port 179. tcpdump shows outgoing traffic from 10.140.59.20 to 10.140.59.16, but there's just nothing listening on port 179 when I start bird.
$ netstat -an | grep 179 $
This really feels like I'm missing something small, something stupid.
