No Domain Object
by Chris Hallam 28 Oct '03

28 Oct '03

I have just realised that I have never created a domain object for our LIR in the database. Everything else is pretty up to date and working fine. Reverse DNS is referenced on our inetnum object. Is the domain object essential? If so, can someone send me an example of a domain object please? In addition, if I create a domain object, do I have to shift reverse DNS to that instead of inetnum?

Dear Sergei S. Istomin, Please contact the hostmasters on hostmaster(a)ripe.net and they will make these changes for you. If you are the contact for an LIR they can also advise you on how to set up an account on the LIR-portal so that you will be able to make such changes yourself in the future.

Re: NCC#2003102750 mnt password

Dear Vitaliy, Changing the authorisation of a maintainer object means changing sensitive user data. In cases when our manual intervention is necessary we require written hardcopy confirmation from the maintainer's admin-c which serves as a form of authentication and authorisation for the change. So before we can change your maintainer for you please send us a fax on company headed paper with the content generated by using the web interface at: http://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/fax.pl If you have any more questions, please contact <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Katie Petrusha ____________________________ RIPE Database Administration. Original message follows: ------------------------ Hello, db-help. How can I retrieve or change my MNT password, if I lost it? Awayting your reply, _____ Kind Regards, mailto:vitas@ti.ru Vitaliy Goncharov
