Rancid with Zebra

[Rizzo, Joe]

I will have to verify.  Maybe that is the way to go.

Thanks for the advice.
Joe

Joe,
doesn't the zebra vtysh daemon provide the ability to get to all the
routing
protocol daemon cli from a single interface (listening on a single
port)?

it's been awhile since i looked at zebra, but the last i remembered,
someone
was asking for zebra to include "end" at the end of "write term", so
that
RANCID would treat it like a cisco; presumably they were not having
problems
getting RANCID to talk to zebra's CLI, so perhaps they were using vtysh
to
do this.
