> Both bird and quagga work as expected on FreeBSD. You can leave =
TCP_MD5 enabled in the kernel. If you specify "password" options for a =
BGP peer, it will enable TCP_MD5. Of course in FreeBSD it's a bit clumsy =
and you have to use setkey(8) to set the keys. But it works.

The reason for setkey is just because the software (quagga, bird,...) =
didn't grow a proper key management integration on pfkey2.   Would be =
easy.   Might be needed soon anyway;-)

Not having looked at the particular openbgpd patches in our ports tree I =
would almost expect there can only be a minor issue that it would stop =
to work for non-protected peers once MD5 support is present in the =
kernel and that should be easy to spot.

Unfortunately Doug didn't say from where he updated to this December =
8-STABLE to see if it could be the MFCs of the MD5 changes by Attilio =
could make OpenBGPd as in ports cranky?
