Description:
When you run the command in the linux shell vtysh to connect to the quagga daemons (such as bgpd, ospfd, etc) returns the following error "Exiting: failed to connect to any daemons"
Just like this:
alejandro @ miserver: ~ $ vtysh -d bgpd
Exiting: failed to connect to any daemons.
alejandro @ miserver: ~ $ vtysh
Exiting: failed to connect to any daemons.
Solution:
The solution is to add the user that is executing vtysh to the quagga group. To do this edit the /etc/group file.
After editing /etc/group should be something like:
quagga:x:1003:alejandro
You can specify multiple users doing:
quagga:x:1003:alejandro, john
This is necessary because vtysh tries to connect to the daemons using UNIX domain sockets and not all users (for security reasons) have access to these sockets.
Another solution:
Another solution might be during the compilation phase where you can specify the linux/unix group for sockets mentioned above. Example:
./configure --enable-vty-group = group
Good luck, I hope this helped,
