Some things on why you should be using zebra-pj...

that said, there are two things that need to be fixed from when I last
updated to his cvs.

1) Make sure you have a zebra user.
2) You /may/ have to run with -u root with ospf to ensure ospfd sends
packets.

I intent to send a patch later tonight, if I get time after this test I'm
doing in ~2 hours :/

MD5 is unuseable. (Greg Troxel's fix is not applied, it is in
zebra-pj).

If you restart an ospfd (with MD5 auth) that has been running for X
amount of time, its neighbours will not sync with it again until ~X
amount of time has passed, because the sequence number starts from 0  and
neighbours will discard packets until the sequence number >=
last sequence number. (zebra-pj seeds sequence number to be derived  from
time(), thus avoiding this problem).

NSSA: Will probably crash. zebra-pj has patches from Kevin Miller +
additional fixes from Hasso Tepper. (it performs suboptimally under
large configs, but it doesnt crash).

etc.. etc..
