      Hi,

      I hope the package maintainer finds this.

      In pfSense 2.0.1-RELEASE, OpenBGPD 0.5.6 the /var/etc/openbgpd/bgpd.conf permissions are set wrong causing OpenBGPD not to start.

      chmod 600 /var/etc/openbgpd/bgpd.conf fixes the issue.

      Hope this helps,
      Peter

        The code already directs the startup script (bgpd.sh) to run

        chmod u+rw,go-rw {$bgpd_config_base}/bgpd.conf

        Were you starting it from the GUI or from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/bgpd.sh start? Or were you trying to launch it by hand from the command line?

          On a clean install I'm facing this issue too: pfSense 2.0.1-RELEASE (amd64), OpenBGPD 0.5.6

          My setup also complains for missing /usr/local/etc/bgpd.conf
          To be able to run OpenBGPD I've had to:

          ln -s /var/etc/openbgpd/bgpd.conf /usr/local/etc/bgpd.conf
          chmod 600 /var/etc/openbgpd/bgpd.conf
