Hi, i have a problem with bird daemon.... Reading the log file /val/log/birdlog i have read this message: messaggio Then i have tried to identify the reason and i have understood that these messages are printed when launch: ifup eth*. I use the last version of bird (1.0.11) but the same message was present in the preview version (1.0.10). The S.O. where bird is installed is debian with kernel 2.6.9 I tried to increase the level of debug editing the bird.conf and i have obtained this logs: 2005 18:36:04 MyOSPF: Initializing 15-11-2005
