Hi,
Is there a way of turning off the socket listen for OSPF interfaces marked as 'stub'?
At the moment I'm running up against the 1024 open file limit on servers (such as VM hosts) with lots of interfaces.
I could alter the ulimit but it seems a bit of a waste to have all those open sockets doing nothing. Could the code be altered to open the socket if the interface is reconfigured away from being a stub, or is there another reason for the listen being there on stub interfaces?
No, it is completely pointless. This is one thing i would like to fix soon. If you have a static list of IP/prefixes, one workaround is to activate OSPF just on non-stub interfaces/prefixes and add stub prefixes using 'stubnet' option. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
