Description Tim Clymo 2001-02-24 22:58:03 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.0-0.99.23 i686)


According to the documentation in
/usr/share/doc/gated-3.6/doc/config_guide/samp_mcast.html it should be
possible to get gated to support multicast routing protocols such as pim
and igmp.

In the simplest possible case, I create /etc/gated.conf containing 2 lines:
pim yes;
igmp yes;

However, when I run /usr/sbin/gated it dies. There is a syslog entry in
/var/log/messages indicating that both lines in the config have failed to
be parsed

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. See description
	

Actual Results:  It died

Expected Results:  Should have started talking pim and igmp

/etc/gated.conf:
pim yes;
igmp yes;

/var/log/messages:

Comment 1 Nalin Dahyabhai 2001-02-28 22:31:32 UTC

It appears that the public version doesn't support PIM or IGMP, and links to the
sample file you're looking at have been removed from
/usr/share/doc/gated-3.6/doc/config_guide/statements.html, presumably for this
reason.  This also appears to be the case for the dvmrp and routerdiscovery
statements.  I can remove those files from the package to make it more
consistent, but since we don't have the sources for the igmp and pim modules,
there's not much more that can be done.

Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still
running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a
current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable.
Some information on which option may be right for you is available at

Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do
want to make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks.
Please check if this issue is still present in a current Fedora Core

check the box indicating that the requested information has been
provided. Note that any bug still open against Red Hat Linux on will be
closed as 'CANTFIX' on September 30, 2006. Thanks again for your help.
