I thought redistribution into any other protocol besides OSPF would have a metric of 0. 0 is not understood by EIGRP, IGRP or RIP and therefore won't work. Redistribution into OSPF always assumes 20 unless you specify otherwise.
Charles, could you site your source? I'm concerned that I may not understand redistribution as well as I thought if your numbers are right and mine are wrong. Are you giving the "unreachable" numbers because the redistribution won't work or do you have something that specifically states those numbers (16 and -1)?

[7:33231] When metric is not supplied, and there is no default metric, then routes redistributed into RIP will have a metric of 16 (unreachable), routes redistributed into IGRP will have a metric of -1 (unreachable), and routes redistributed into OSPF will have a metric of 20.
