NAME
     ripngd - a RIPNG routing engine for use with Quagga  routing
     software.

SYNOPSIS
     ripngd [ -dhlrv ] [ -f config-file ] [ -i pid-file  ]  [  -P
     port-number ] [ -A vty-address ] [ -u user ] [ -g group ]

DESCRIPTION
     ripngd is a routing component that  works  with  the  Quagga
     routing engine.

OPTIONS
     Options available for the ripngd command:

OPTIONS
     -d, --daemon
          Runs in daemon mode, forking and exiting from tty.

     -f, --config-file config-file
          Specifies the config file to use for  startup.  If  not
          specified   this   option   will   likely   default  to
          /usr/local/etc/ripngd.conf.

     -g, --group group
          Specify the group to run as. Default is quagga.

     -h, --help
          A brief message.

     -i, --pidfile pid-file
          When ripngd starts its process identifier is written to
          pid-file.   The  init  system  uses the recorded PID to
          stop  or  restart  ripngd.   The  likely   default   is
          /var/run/ripngd.pid.

     -l, --logmode
          Turn verbose logging on.

     -P, --vtyport port-number
          Specify the port that the ripngd VTY  will  listen  on.
          This defaults to 2603, as specified in /etc/services.

     -A, --vtyaddr vty-address
          Specify the address that the ripngd VTY will listen on.
          Default is all interfaces.

     -u, --user user
          Specify the user to run as. Default is quagga.

     -r, --retain
          When the program terminates,  retain  routes  added  by
