Hi No, it is a bug, not behavior by design. Could you send me a log from the start of BIRD (ideally two logs for both cases - one where interfaces end in down state and one when BIRD crashes with 'in down state?' message) with enabled debug messages by adding this option to the OSPF protocol: debug {events, states, interfaces}; ? -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santi...@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."
