OK...  I've been playing with routed/gated and RIP off and on for a couple
of months in the hope that it will help ease my suffering when it comes to
maintaining eight zillion routing entries on various machines.  I keep
coming up with the same problem:

(tcpdump grab)
20:44:37.760592 tarkin.smlab.com.router > 192.168.2.255.router: rip-resp
5: 192.168.2.0(1) core1-akron.raex.net(1) 208.132.36.0(1) 10.0.0.0(2)
0.0.0.0(1) [ttl 1] (id 8214)

The problem is that 10.0.0.0/8 route that keeps getting sent around.  I
have several 10.x.0.0/16 and 10.x.y.0/24 routes being used, but the /8 is
what's being advertised...  This is why I usually give up and do all the
routing manually.  :(  (There are no /8's defined, other than what RIP
puts into the routing tables.)

I admit that my gut feeling is that I'm missing something stupid, but is
it possible that this is a "feature" of RIP?  

(BTW: I've tried both RIPv1 and RIPv2)
