RIP98 is not a +broadcast protocol and each neighbour is individually contacted. Any +incoming RIP98 message is also validated against this list. The list of +neighbours is held in /etc/ax25/rip98.conf, and each line is +either the name or the dotted decimal IP address of the neighbour. +.LP +The time interval between RIP98 transmissions is set to one hour by default +but other intervals can be set with the \-t option. The routes advertised +and received can be restricted by the \-r option which only allows +processing of ampr.org addresses. At present +.B rip98d +is under development and any feedback on its operation would be welcome. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP 16 +.BI \-d +Set debugging on. Information is only output if the logging option is also +enabled. +.TP 16 +.BI \-l +Enable logging to the system log, the default is off. +.TP 16 +.BI \-r +Restricts the transmitting and receiving of routes to ampr.org (44.x.x.x) +addresses only. +.TP 16 +.BI "\-t interval" +The time interval between routing broadcasts, in minutes.
