      hello,

      last friday i updated my main firewall from 2.0.3 to 2.1 (and 2 of my 5 connected alix boards)
      since then i have every day at ~21:07 o'clock the problem that the quagga ospfd daemon stops working

      i get these messages in the log but can't find any hint what this can be.

      System - General

      Oct 2 21:07:22 	kernel: pid 88002 (ospfd), uid 101: exited on signal 6

      System - Routing

      at first i thought this would happen in a 24hour circle, but yesterday i restarted the whole machine at 23:00 and today the error appared again on 21:07 (and so 22hours later, and not 24hours)

      i would be really glad if anyone of you has a clue what this could be.

      thanks in advance

        (fyi: if someone gets here with the search function)

        after the error appeared again and again, i switched back to 2.0.3 and controlled the log a few days if something appears to be strange
        and there i noticed an error on an assigned but inactive interface. after that i unassigned it and did a new upgrade to 2.1 and the last 3 days there was no error that broke the ospfd service

Oct 15 21:05:36 	ospfd[48355]: SLOW THREAD: task ospf_write (800674c40) ran for 80740ms (cpu time 0ms)

          i'm thinking of a cron job to restart the ospfd service at 21:10 every day, but thats just a cheap workaround
          the bigger try would be a complete new installation with the settings imported

          does no one know from where this error could come?

          edit: at the moment i'm having the problem that i can't find a way to restart or start the ospfd daemon
          with "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/quagga stop" i can stop the service by myself, but with "start" there is no output and it won't start
          what am i doing wrong here?

          i would be really thankful for any help in this case!

            no clue but i've seen the  "exit on signal 6' error before on 2.1 installs. (mine runs on site-to-site openvpn interfaces)
            i've installed the Service Watchdog package to monitor quagga and restart if needed. (no good fix AFAIK)

                Looks like the dead timer is doing it (40s default), although it gets the hello messages quite regularly:
