      I haven't the time to personally test this any time soon.  If anyone interested could test this pfSense RIP with even your home router (assuming it has RIP), I can go ahead and award this bounty.
      Thanks, -pc

            Thanks, I'll work on wrapping this up this weekend then.  Just been waiting for you to have time to be able to test ;)

              OK, routed package posted.  It has the following features:
              Supports RIP v1 and RIP v2
              Allows you to choose which interface to run RIP on (the version is global, can't choose per interface)
              Allows you to set a RIP v2 password (this will apply to all RIP enabled interfaces)

              Some of the items I wanted to add (individual settings per interface) weren't an option with our current package code.  It was my understanding this wasn't a requirement.  If the package is considered acceptable, I'd be willing to create a patch to enable this functionality on an embedded install (packages only work on full installs).

                    It starts and stops from the gui. 
                    I'll bounce the box and hopefully get another RIP enabled device on tomorrow.

                        Sorry for the delay, I finally got around to bouncing this box that's running routed and found that it was not running after a restart.  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ did not have a startup script for routed which would pobably explain it.  I reinstalled the pkg which of course restarted the service but there was still no startup script so I don't expect it to be running after a restart. 
                        So if it operates as I'm reading it should a simple startup script should start it and begin forwarding packets among the connected nets (since the box is acting as a router).  I don't have anything else that runs rip close by that I can test with to see but as I saw before it's at least talking as I'd expect it to.

                        This worked at the most basic level (starting and stopping the service) on my box:

                        –snip

                        #!/bin/sh

                        rc_start() {
                                /sbin/routed
                        }

                        rc_stop() {
                                /usr/bin/killall routed
                        }

                        case $1 in
                                start)
                                        rc_start
                                        ;;
                                stop)
                                        rc_stop
                                        ;;
                                restart)
                                        rc_stop
                                        rc_start
                                        ;;
                        esac

                            Bah, this showed a bug in package startup, thanks, fixed now in HEAD.  Waiting on Scott to sync the change back to RELENG_1 (although now we've gotta check the known working packages to make sure I didn't just break them…doh!)

                                    Since nobody is interested in providing feedback on this package, I've pulled it from RELENG_1.  If there's not feedback on it during our next beta cycle it won't make it into 1.1 either.

                                      Hi all

                                      have installed this package in 3 pf in my test lab, and configured with RIP v2, all the pfs work in routing mode, without NAT, But when i go to Diagnostics -> Routes, there is nothing.  I have to do something else, to get this package working?

                                        I bet Diagnostics->Routes only shows static routes (as it's part of core).  I'll check that out tonight and see if it makes sense to modify that screen to show dynamic routes (probably) or if it's something that needs to be added to the package specifically.

                                          Works fine here between a RELENG_1 (1.0RC3) and a HEAD box (CVS current).  I see the advertised routes from each box under Diagnostics->Routes

                                            Works fine here between a RELENG_1 (1.0RC3) and a HEAD box (CVS current).  I see the advertised routes from each box under Diagnostics->Routes

                                            OK, wild guess here, you probably are using RIP v1 not v2.  dsh@ and I did find some more bugs in this package and I spent some time reworking it tonight.  Please reinstall the package and re-save and let me know how it works.  If we can get this package tested and confirmed in the next couple days, I'll mark it stable and include it in 1.0.  Thanks
