[Voyage-linux] quagga, bgpd, zebra problems

[(spam-protected)]

Hi Punky, and list.

If anyone else has a similar problem, heres the solution...

Thanks Punky, that is exactly what was wrong.  I worked out about 4am this
morning that it needed /ro/var/run/quagga and I think also it needed to be
chown/chgrp quagga.

I didnt think to do the same for the log though, so I had better do that.

It is up and working great now!  I spent about 10 hors on that stupid little
problem, I suppose if I was more experienced in linux it would have been a 10
minute fix!

Thanks!

Brian
