Hi Michael, my wild guess is that you are attempting to run multiple instances of=20 quagga (i.e. zebra, ripd etc.) and that they are clashing=20 on /var/run/quagga/ PF_UNIX named sockets. My suggestion would be to=20 make a separate directory for each vimage in say /tmp, and then=20 make /var/run/quagga a variant symlink to those dirs. You can do the=20 same for the Quagga.conf file for which the path is hardcoded in quagga=20 as well: ln -s /tmp/$vimage_name/@ /var/run/quagga ln -s /tmp/$vimage_name/@/boot.conf /usr/local/etc/quagga/Quagga.conf The @ sign will be substituted with the current vimage name when=20 resolving the symlink. And don't forget to issue "vtysh -b" after=20 starting your daemons if you are using the unified Quagga.conf file. Hope this helps, Marko
