Description
Setup pfsense as ABR with several areas and found one does not work properly if one of areas is stub. There are two moments:
1. No opportunity to setup one of area as stub in web interface
2. Even raw config is used there is not stub option in OSPF Hello:
*Aug 22 06:53:36.975: OSPF: Rcv hello from 172.16.150.43 area 0.0.0.1 from FastEthernet0/0.33 10.1.7.1
*Aug 22 06:53:36.975: OSPF: Hello from 10.1.7.1 with mismatched Stub/Transit area option bit

The "Disable FIB Updates" option is the only GUI control to setup stub areas but it is global, not per interface/network/etc. That doesn't appear to be a use case that was ever supported by the Quagga GUI and would take some redesign to accomplish. I'm not sure how common it would be in those role to be worth the work, but I'll take a look at it when I have some time.
As for using a raw config, if it doesn't work with a raw config and the config is correct for that role in FRR, then that would need reported upstream to FRR since it would be beyond our control at that point.

Tried on latest stable 2.4.4-p3 with 6.0.2, it works fine, stub areas are handled by cisco router without issue.
