Hello. I am attempting to use BGP peer groups on pfSense 24.03-RELEASE with FRR 2.0.2_3.
I am noticing many failures in
/var/log/frr/frr-reload.logwhich end like this:2024-05-21 01:14:22,454 WARNING: frr-reload.py failed due to vtysh (exec file) exited with status 13When I manually attempt to run the command, I see this:

@centromere We have the same problem, is there already a solution?
I have to correct myself a little, the error is just similar. It seems that the frr is running though.
