[Xorp-users] Problem on running multiple instances on the same machine

[Pavlin Radoslavov]

I could be wrong, but I think that if you set the environmental
variable in your shell _before_ using "sudo", it is not preserved in
the sudo environment.
In other words, you should set XORP_FINDER_SERVER_PORT _after_ you
do sudo. E.g.:

sudo tcsh
setenv ...
./xorp_rtrmgr ...

If you do this, I don't think that the -p flag is required.
