IRRd-Discuss

[Vinay Kumar]

thanks it works. The odd behaviour is if i add the lines to the
irrd.conf and then start the irrd it works fine. If i start the irrd w/o
a irrd.conf. then add the following line in config mode

> irr_directory /usr/irrdatabase
> irr_database radb

then reload the radb. It does not work.

thanks
