[j-nsp] JunOS 6.3 not logging BGP state transitions

[Jared Gillis]

I agree, the config looks proper, but I don't get the expected log messages
anywhere. I've caused BGP hits on the router with this config and never see any
log messages in any of the message files or on our syslog server.

% zcat /var/log/messages*.gz | grep -i bgp
%
% grep -i bgp /var/log/daemon
Sep  9 10:34:36  host.name mgd[4421]: UI_COMMIT_EMPTY_CONTAINER: Skipped empty
object 'bgp'
