you might need zebra running to tell ospf what interfaces are around. 
I'm not so sure in this area.  But I agree, no config.

One thing Zebra is good at is using it to set up any static routes. 
Then add interface detect.  Then if you pull the cable, the static
routes get deleted.

(I don't know what FreeBSD is like, but on linux, unplug the network
cable and static routes stay in the routing table and live.)

FRR is a fork of Quagga by cumulus networks.  Development is very
active.  https://github.com/FRRouting/frr

Also see https://man.openbsd.org/ospf6d from  
http://www.openbgpd.org/   I presume will also work on FreeBSD.


It might be that my issues were already fixed in a later Quagga.  But
I'd had enough of compiling, needed to go home, and the FRR debian
packages were just there.
