When I do what you describe the route is immediate seen by other ospf
router. I quickly checked on amd64 -current VMs. I did this many times
in the last few years and it always worked for me.
I tested now with this config:
r2# cat /etc/ospfd.conf
router-id 192.168.250.102
area 0.0.0.0 {
interface vio0
interface vlan1
}
Then I started ospfd and created lo33. After that I added this line to
ospfd.conf:
interface lo33 { passive }
Then I did "ospfctl reload" and the expectd route appeared in neighbor's
routing table.
