Hi all,

I see the following pop up in the syslog, over and over again:

root@eunetworks-2:/etc/bird# tail -F /var/log/syslog | grep filters Feb 24 19:34:32 eunetworks-2 bird: filters, line 1360: ~ applied on unknown type pair Feb 24 19:34:32 eunetworks-2 bird: filters, line 1360: ~ applied on unknown type pair Feb 24 19:34:32 eunetworks-2 bird: filters, line 1360: ~ applied on unknown type pair Feb 24 19:34:32 eunetworks-2 bird: filters, line 1360: ~ applied on unknown type pair Feb 24 19:34:32 eunetworks-2 bird: filters, line 1360: ~ applied on unknown type pair

However, tracing down where the error comes from is not so trivial:

root@eunetworks-2:/etc/bird# find /etc/bird -type f | xargs grep include | wc -l 302 root@eunetworks-2:/etc/bird# du -sh /etc/bird 48M /etc/bird root@eunetworks-2:/etc/bird#

I have a glorious spaghetti spread over almost 50 megabytes of config.

Anyone got any idea why I'm seeing this warning, and how I can figure out what BIRD considers 'line 1360'?

Hi Well, BIRD is a bit sloppy here and does not track included file names. Fortunately lines are counted independently for each file, so it is line 1360 in some file. -- 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."
