Hello!
If I have understood you well, I have to copy my config file (bird.conf) into the directory where I am running bird. Ok, bird find it. But the birdc socket is created ONCE I have executed bird, so I can`t copy it before calling bird, and continue without finding it, and consecuently without being able to run birdc :(.
You should run birdc in the same directory as you run bird.
Another question: What else does bird need to find in the current directory, apart from the bird.conf file and the bird.ctl socket?
Nothing else comes to my mind. Have a nice fortnight -- Martin `MJ' Mares <mj@ucw.cz> http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mj/ Faculty of Math and Physics, Charles University, Prague, Czech Rep., Earth "This quote has been selected randomly. Really." -- M. Ulrichs
