setkey's, right?
It needs to be any non-empty string.

Not sure if this is sufficient condition, though.

ok. I think I've got that part.

But what do I put in the password field in the configuration of the bgp
in bird?

Any non-empty string should be fine.

Hi!

The manual page says:

password string
Use this password for MD5 authentication of BGP sessions. Default: no
authentication. Password has to be set by external utility (e.g.
setkey(8)) on BSD systems.

Can someone provide me with an example of how that does work?

Presently you need to add
options         TCP_SIGNATURE
options         IPSEC
device          crypto

to your kernel configuration

After that, TCP MD5 can be configured on per-host basis:


9:55 [1] zfscurr0# echo add 10.0.0.92 10.0.0.5 tcp 0x1000 -A tcp-md5
\"secret\" \; | setkey -c
9:55 [1] zfscurr0# setkey -D
10.0.0.92 10.0.0.5

          tcp mode=any spi=4096(0x00001000) reqid=0(0x00000000)
          A: tcp-md5  73656372 6574
          seq=0x00000000 replay=0 flags=0x00000040 state=mature

          current: 0(bytes)       hard: 0(bytes)  soft: 0(bytes)
          allocated: 0    hard: 0 soft: 0
