In /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2 you will find these commented-out lines:

Code:

# # Start the network routing daemon:
# if [ -x /usr/sbin/routed ]; then
#   echo "Starting network routing daemon:  /usr/sbin/routed"
#   /usr/sbin/routed -g -s
# fi

If you un-comment these, you will have the route daemon running on boot and I think that is what you want.

the mentioned lines are already disabled. the problem is if i want to run zebra or any other thing it is showing" privs_init: could not lookup user quagga." i'm not understanding wt is the problem.

To run quagga/zebra I think you must have a user named quagga.
