[FROG] frr doesn't start on Freeebsd

[Donald Sharp]

Dimitrios -

When I build FRR, I specify 3 things:

1) Location of config files
   /etc/frr/XXX

2) Location of directory for Runtime files
   /var/run/frr/

3) Location of log directory
  /var/log/frr

Now I do not know what your configure line was, but please make sure
that these 3 locations that you have specified actually exist and are
owned by frr and the group frr.

thanks!

donald
