Not all that long ago I installed the new rip44d on a CentOS install.
It did receive the broadcasts as I saw them in debug mode. However it
didn't seem to install these routes to the local routing table.
I assume that has to with networking working slightly different on the
various flavor of Linux.
So now I am trying with Ubuntu 10.04 server, but I can't even seem to
receive the broadcasts. It just sits there in the main loop waiting
for broadcasts. Yet when I watch with tcpdump, there are things going
on. But I am mostly concerned by the udp port unreachable that I am
responding with:
(For now) I have the Linux firewall completely disabled (as far as I
know... more of a RedHat guy) and connected directly to the outside
world.

I am looking for tips on what I am doing wrong, or what distribution
and steps those who are doing this had success with.
Thanks,
