I'm getting consistent parse errors from bird while trying to configure ospf. I say something akin to the following: protocol ospf { ... area 0.0.0.0 { ... }; } And I've tried variations like "area 0 {" and "area {", but no luck with anything. I always get a parse error from bird on that particular line. I took a halfhearted look at the source and couldn't find anything in particular. Help! And yes, I know that areas are somewhat borken, that you can't use more than one. I'm not trying to, I'm just trying to follow the documentation which says to list an area section and put my chosen interfaces inside of it. Thanks 'james -- James A.
