Hello dear Gated and FreeBSD hackers,

wouldn't you mind looking into this strange problem, please?

The simplified setup is: an ethernet segment which I want to become
an OSPF area; and several boxes -- Linux, BSDI, and one FreeBSD
2.2-960612-SNAP machine (a very stable SNAP, never seen any problem with
it before), all are to become interarea routers later.

Now I just wish to setup internal interaction between all the
routers on the ether, inside a single area.  While Linux and BSDI with
Gated 3.6a2 are interacting Ok one with another, FreeBSD box with 3.5b3
didn't want to take part in OSPF Hello negotiation -- the ether was full
of "Hello timer mismatch" messages.

Ok, I thought; I'd take 3.6a2 to FreeBSD, too.  It was easy, thanks A
LOT for this work to John Capo who did the port of a new Gated already:

> I'm running 3.6a2 on one -current system and two -stable systems.
> A port is at ftp://ftp.irbs.com/FreeBSD/ports/gated-3.6a2.tgz.

> (954) 792-9551                 Unix/Internet Consulting - ISP Solutions

But new Gated (which is really superior to the older ones due to many
reasons) didn't cure the problem :(  BSDI and Linux are still seeing
one another nicely, but they can't see FreeBSD; and FreeBSD sees only
messages like this (here is the trace snippet from FreeBSD), so the
three boxes aren't able to start cooperative interaction.

194.93.190.5 is Linux, 194.93.190.2 is BSDI.

Can anyone help me?  Seems that something is wrong with FreeBSD here --
or with it's admin (me :)  Any hints suggestions and comments are
appreciated!

Thanks!
