do you need to be listening to RIP for any reason (such as your local
ethernet has other connections you want to use?)  If not, don't run
routed.

If you do need routed, or even if you don't, grab ip-filter (see
http://coombs.anu.edu.au/~avalon) and block incoming RIP packets on
the PPP interface, and take the opportunity to block a few more
undesirable things as well.
