Hi Gert-Jan, while querying the RIPE DB to get an object in response try using -B switch, e.g.: whois -h whois.ripe.net '-B 87.236.2.48' if -B switch is missing, "changed:" attributes won't be included in response. AFAIK this behaviour was introduced as to somewhat prevent maintanance contact info misuse for SPAM devlivery and similar.

Hi,
I cannot delete an inetnum object. As far as I can see the object matched the database. What is wrong?
Best regards,
