If there's a way to make ripv2 default and the options can turn v1 back on, that sounds reasonable, as ripv1 really should not be used. > Sorry about bothering the list with this, but perhaps someone else > will make a similar mistake.

The other thing is to add a few lines to the man page, if it's unclear. I don't mind examples, but needing them can be a sign of inadequate documentation.
