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: Feb 24 22:47:41 tcpc gated[2414]: Start gated[2414] version gated-public-3_6 built Tue Jan 23 23:03:29 EST 2001 Feb 24 22:47:41 tcpc gated[2414]: parse: gated.conf:1 parse error at 'pim' length 3 Feb 24 22:47:41 tcpc gated[2414]: parse: gated.conf:2 parse error at 'igmp' length 4 Feb 24 22:47:41 tcpc gated[2414]: parse_parse: 2 parse errors Feb 24 22:47:41 tcpc gated[2414]: Exit gated: ^I^IVersion gated-public-3_6 built Tue Jan 23 23:03:29 EST 2001 ^I^IPid 2414, started Sat Feb 24 22:47:41 2001
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.
