[Xorp-users] Very beginner question

Hi Stevan,

Installing XORP with "sudo apt-get install xorp" is just fine. I'm using
Ubuntu 9.10 and xorp works with no problems:

#uname -a
Linux MyPC 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 02:39:34 UTC 2010
x86_64 GNU/Linux

But, prior to run xorpsh you need to add the user, that is supposed to make
reconfigurations, to xorp group! Otherwise the user does not have enough
permissions to make configurations.
After that run XORP router management process (page 13 in the user_manual -
"xorpsh needs to be able to communicate with the XORP router management
process xorp rtrmgr using the local file system."). Something like "#sudo
xorp_rtrmgr -b YourConfiguration.boot" YourConfiguration.boot could be an
empty file!!! but it has to exist. You can create it with "#touch
YourConfiguration.boot"

And just after that you should be able to run xorpsh.

Hope this would help.

Regards,
Adrian
