Thanks, my original problem was that Zebra and OSPFD were not using my
config files in /etc/zebra/zebra.conf and ospfd.conf. Starting the daemos
with the -f took care of it. I am still having adjacency problems and
cannot learn routes from the network or broadcast VIPA out.

Both Adam and David are correct, but Adam slightly more so in this case
(sorry, David :). 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.
Cheers,
Vic Cross
