Feh. Due to silent argument processing weirdnesses in vic, the ttl setting
argument wasn't getting handled. I'm currently rebuilding the RPM for this.
Until that's out, you can replace the beacon shell script with the following:

#!/bin/sh

#
# Multicast monitor beacon
#
# Fire up the modified vic on beacon group.
#

beacon_dest=224.1.2.4/20040
beacon_ttl=127

host=`hostname`

/usr/local/ag/apps/beacon/vic-beacon \
        -X maxbw=128 \
        -X bandwidth=32 \
        -X framerate=4 \
        -X quality=85 \
        -X muteNewSources=true \
        -X transmitOnStartup=true  \
        -D x11 \
        -N "bcn@$host" \
        -t $beacon_ttl $beacon_dest
