I understand your point and agree...but...the question I have is it ok in
terms of lab requirements to have connected networks that are part of other
routing protocols sucked into RIP and/or IGRP due the lack of a mask command
like in EIGRP.

Passive interface doesn't have anything to do with what networks are
advertised or not with the exception of IS-IS. Passive interface only
relates to the sending of updates out an interface or the sending of
hellos out. Remember that a router with passive interface enabled can
still receive updates on that interface (RIP and IGRP).

With IS-IS the passive interface command will advertise the IP network
for the interface that is made passive but the router will not try to
form a neighbor relationship out that interface.

As a side note Cisco added the "default" option to the passive interface
command in IOS version 12.0 which means that all interfaces can be made
passive with one command.

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?
