IGRP/RIP advertising passive connected interfaces that are member s of other routing processes

I was doing some work with IGRP/RIP and redistribution into OSPF and I came
across something interesting I'd never really noticed. My requirements are
to make sure the IGRP and RIP are not advertising out any non-specified
interfaces. Fine, put in passive interfaces. Here's the question. If you
look farther into say the IGRP process you will see networks advertised out
"non-passive" interfaces for interfaces that are passive. For example...

R1 ------ R2 -------R3
     IGRP OSPF

R2 and R1 are talking rip and R2 and R3 are OSPF neighbors. In the IGRP
process I have specified that the interface on R2 connecting to R3 is
passive. Both networks R1-R2 and R2-R3 are in the same major network. On R1
I will see the network in IGRP for the link between R2 and R3. The only way
I know to keep that from happening is to apply some type of distribute list.
I'm wondering if there is something else that could be done to keep that
from happening. The requirement was not to "advertise" out any non
specified interfaces so I *think* I've met the requirements but I've got non
IGRP networks stuck in my IGRP process. Is there a way to keep connected
interfaces from being a part of the IGRP process? I know with EIGRP and the
new mask command you can keep that from happening but what about RIP and
IGRP?

Thoughts?
