[44net] ampr-rip2d on Raspberry Pi?

I was able to compile the above daemon on my Pi 4. My Pi is exposed to the wild with a static IP. When I run the daemon with the -dg option (to hang in the foreground) , it does not exit or crash. But I get no notices of traffic or nothing happens in the system's routing tables. Is a password needed? I do see a flag for that, but the website for the daemon has it showing output even without a password. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -73 de Chris KQ6UP SK..
