Each Zebra daemon has its own telnet interface, so each one has its own password -- because you're configuring ospfd, the password you set in ospfd.conf is the one that applies. Consider using the vtysh program instead -- it uses a UNIX socket to connect to each process as required, from a single command interface. This means that you can switch between RIP and OSPF commands easily, instead of having to disconnect, telnet to the other process, re-logon... (lather, rinse, repeat) You also get improved security through not having cleartext passwords in your config files, and not having to send same passwords in cleartext over the network.
