Centos 5.2, xorp is from dag wieers rpm

No. I will test that.

I logged into xorpsh after adding the users. I am the only one to use 
xorpsh.

Now I have restarted the xorp router manager, and I cannot login into 
xorpsh any more. This is what I get:

Waiting for xorp_rtrmgr...
[ 2008/07/20 19:12:04  ERROR xorpsh:8906 RTRMGR +90 xorpsh_main.cc 
wait_for_xrl_router_ready ] XrlRouter failed.  No Finder?
[ 2008/07/20 19:12:04  ERROR xorpsh:8906 RTRMGR +897 xorpsh_main.cc main ] 
xorpsh exiting due to an init error: Failed to connect to the router manager

There is a remark in the manual about xorp router manager having to be able 
to write to /tmp. This should not be a problem.

Thanks for your help.

Dirk
