Hi All, I am trying to create an inetnum type of object in the ripe test database but i am unable to get past the eternal authorization error. The Maintainer in the test db that i am using is IS-MNT and i am requesting the ip range 193.0.0.0 - 193.0.0.255 (I am not sure if this should be a valid range for test db purposes but i assume that i should be able to get an inetnum in test db at any range). I have tried with maintainer IS11260-MNT(organization's maintainer) as well to no relief. I am sure that i have entered the correct session password on the passwords list. After doing all this i keep getting the following error: rom-Host: 124.253.3.194 - Date/Time: Fri Apr 6 09:43:11 2012 SUMMARY OF UPDATE: Number of objects found: 1 Number of objects processed successfully: 0 Create: 0 Modify: 0 Delete: 0 No Operation: 0 Number of objects processed with errors: 1 Create: 1 Modify: 0 Delete: 0 Syntax Errors: 0 DETAILED EXPLANATION: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following object(s) were found to have ERRORS: --- Create FAILED: [inetnum] 193.0.0.0 - 193.0.0.255 ***Error: Authorisation failed ***Info: Syntax check passed inetnum: 193.0.0.0 - 193.0.0.255 netname: Test-Network descr: Testing for IS country: NL admin-c: IS1-TEST tech-c: IS1-TEST status: ASSIGNED PA mnt-by: IS-MNT mnt-by: IS11260-MNT changed: ishwinder@enbake.com source: TEST ***Warning: Date '20120406' added to changed: attribute 'ishwinder@enbake.com' ***Info: Authorisation for parent [inetnum] 0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255 using mnt-lower: not authenticated by: TEST-DBM-MNT ***Info: Authorisation for [inetnum] 193.0.0.0 - 193.0.0.255 using mnt-by: authenticated by: IS-MNT, IS11260-MNT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The RIPE Database is subject to Terms and Conditions:http://www.ripe.net/db/support/db-terms-conditions.pdf For assistance or clarification please contact: RIPE Database Administration <ripe-dbm@ripe.net> Can someone guide on what i am doing wrong here and how i can create a inetnum object?
