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.
