BIRD: MPBGP & problems debugging

[Jorge Gomez]

I've just discovered the way it works. That's what I have done:

After having configure BIRD with the --enable-debug option, I have opened a
shell, and in the bird.conf directory, I have executed bird. .
Then, in opened another shell and I have executed birdc -s
/"bird.confdirectory", and finally I got birdc in my screen.

But...

What I originally wanted was to get <DBG> messages in my log file, and it
continue without them. I don't know where is my error;I thnik I have
activated all the "debug" options...Here is my configuration file:

debug protocols all;
log "/log_bird" all;




protocol kernel {
        persist;
        scan time 5;
        export all;
}

protocol device {
        scan time 10;
}
protocol static {
        route 11.0.0.0/24 reject;#via "tap0";
    #route 172.29.16.0/22 reject;
}

protocol bgp bgp2 {
    local as 65005;
    neighbor 13.0.0.2 as 65002;
    import all;
    export where source=RTS_STATIC;;
    source address 13.0.0.1;
}


Any idea??
