Eh? How exactly do you expect a server to get upgraded without getting restarted? Or do you just mean it should just not delete the routes when stopping? The latter is explained with the fact that Quagga cannot know from which daemon a route has been inserted once it is there and would have severy problems when starting up with all routes alredy present because even if e.g. ospfd would be shutdown, it cannot safely decide if a given route may now be killed if that route had already been present when Quagga had been started. You can normally assume that upgrading any Unix daemon means shutting it down and afterwards restarting it again. Just like a Cisco router AFAIK cannot be upgraded to a new IOS version while continuing to run. bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
