Hi Chriztoffer,
I am using BIRD 2, my configuration looks like the following:

ipv4 table t4;

protocol pipe {
     table master4;
     peer table t4;
     import all;
     export all;
}

protocol bgp {
        multihop 15;
        neighbor 192.168.1.2 as 1;
        password "password";

       ipv4 {
               import all;
               table t4;
               export none;};
}

Without password it is working.

Thanks,

Fabiano

Config examples of what troubles you would help, plus if you are using
Bird 1 or Bird 2 in your set-up.
