Istvan,

I really hate to contradict, because I am sure you have a good reason
for saying this, but it is not the behavior I see in recent IOS.

I am running (C3640-JK9O3S-M), Version 12.4(5) and RIP has no problem
generating a default all on its own using default-information originate.

For me, it generates a default even without there being one in the table
at all. And we have seen this behavior week in and week out in our
class for years.

By the way, the use of default-inf orig under RIP does not generate a
local route to null 0.

Hope we can figure out the discrepancy! :-)
