This is version 1.94.3 of Majordomo. If you're familiar with mail servers, an advanced user's summary of Majordomo's commands appears at the end of this message. Majordomo is an automated system which allows users to subscribe and unsubscribe to mailing lists, and to retrieve files from list archives. You can interact with the Majordomo software by sending it commands in the body of mail messages addressed to "Majordomo(a)tradinghouse.com". Please do not put your commands on the subject line; Majordomo does not process commands in the subject line. You may put multiple Majordomo commands in the same mail message. Put each command on a line by itself. If you use a "signature block" at the end of your mail, Majordomo may mistakenly believe each line of your message is a command; you will then receive spurious error messages. To keep this from happening, either put a line starting with a hyphen ("-") before your signature, or put a line with just the word end on it in the same place. This will stop the Majordomo software from processing your signature as bad commands. Here are some of the things you can do using Majordomo: I. FINDING OUT WHICH LISTS ARE ON THIS SYSTEM To get a list of publicly-available mailing lists on this system, put the following line in the body of your mail message to Majordomo(a)tradinghouse.com: lists Each line will contain the name of a mailing list and a brief description of the list. To get more information about a particular list, use the "info" command, supplying the name of the list. For example, if the name of the list about which you wish information is "demo-list", you would put the line info demo-list in the body of the mail message. II. SUBSCRIBING TO A LIST Once you've determined that you wish to subscribe to one or more lists on this system, you can send commands to Majordomo to have it add you to the list, so you can begin receiving mailings. To receive list mail at the address from which you're sending your mail, simply say "subscribe" followed by the list's name: subscribe demo-list If for some reason you wish to have the mailings go to a different address (a friend's address, a specific other system on which you have an account, or an address which is more correct than the one that automatically appears in the "From:" header on the mail you send), you would add that address to the command. For instance, if you're sending a request from your work account, but wish to receive "demo-list" mail at your personal account (for which we will use "jqpublic(a)my-isp.com" as an example), you'd put the line subscribe demo-list jqpublic(a)my-isp.com in the mail message body. Based on configuration decisions made by the list owners, you may be added to the mailing list automatically. You may also receive notification that an authorization key is required for subscription. Another message will be sent to the address to be subscribed (which may or may not be the same as yours) containing the key, and directing the user to send a command found in that message back to Majordomo(a)tradinghouse.com. (This can be a bit of extra hassle, but it helps keep you from being swamped in extra email by someone who forged requests from your address.) You may also get a message that your subscription is being forwarded to the list owner for approval; some lists have waiting lists, or policies about who may subscribe. If your request is forwarded for approval, the list owner should contact you soon after your request. Upon subscribing, you should receive an introductory message, containing list policies and features. Save this message for future reference; it will also contain exact directions for unsubscribing. If you lose the intro mail and would like another copy of the policies, send this message to Majordomo(a)tradinghouse.com: intro demo-list (substituting, of course, the real name of your list for "demo-list"). III. UNSUBSCRIBING FROM MAILING LISTS Your original intro message contains the exact command which should be used to remove your address from the list. However, in most cases, you may simply send the command "unsubscribe" followed by the list name: unsubscribe demo-list (This command may fail if your provider has changed the way your address is shown in your mail.) To remove an address other than the one from which you're sending the request, give that address in the command: unsubscribe demo-list jqpublic(a)my-isp.com In either of these cases, you can tell Majordomo(a)tradinghouse.com to remove the address in question from all lists on this server by using "*" in place of the list name: unsubscribe * unsubscribe * jqpublic(a)my-isp.com IV. FINDING THE LISTS TO WHICH AN ADDRESS IS SUBSCRIBED To find the lists to which your address is subscribed, send this command in the body of a mail message to Majordomo(a)tradinghouse.com: which You can look for other addresses, or parts of an address, by specifying the text for which Majordomo should search. For instance, to find which users at my-isp.com are subscribed to which lists, you might send the command which my-isp.com Note that many list owners completely or fully disable the "which" command, considering it a privacy violation. V. FINDING OUT WHO'S SUBSCRIBED TO A LIST To get a list of the addresses on a particular list, you may use the "who" command, followed by the name of the list: who demo-list Note that many list owners allow only a list's subscribers to use the "who" command, or disable it completely, believing it to be a privacy violation. VI. RETRIEVING FILES FROM A LIST'S ARCHIVES Many list owners keep archives of files associated with a list. These may include: - back issues of the list - help files, user profiles, and other documents associated with the list - daily, monthly, or yearly archives for the list To find out if a list has any files associated with it, use the "index" command: index demo-list If you see files in which you're interested, you may retrieve them by using the "get" command and specifying the list name and archive filename. For instance, to retrieve the files called "profile.form" (presumably a form to fill out with your profile) and "demo-list.9611" (presumably the messages posted to the list in November 1996), you would put the lines get demo-list profile.form get demo-list demo-list.9611 in your mail to Majordomo(a)tradinghouse.com. VII. GETTING MORE HELP To contact a human site manager, send mail to Majordomo-Owner(a)tradinghouse.com. To contact the owner of a specific list, send mail to that list's approval address, which is formed by adding "-approval" to the user-name portion of the list's address. For instance, to contact the list owner for demo-list(a)tradinghouse.com, you would send mail to demo-list-approval(a)tradinghouse.com. To get another copy of this help message, send mail to Majordomo(a)tradinghouse.com with a line saying help in the message body. VIII. COMMAND SUMMARY FOR ADVANCED USERS In the description below items contained in []'s are optional. When providing the item, do not include the []'s around it. Items in angle brackets, such as <address>, are meta-symbols that should be replaced by appropriate text without the angle brackets. It understands the following commands: subscribe <list> [<address>] Subscribe yourself (or <address> if specified) to the named <list>. unsubscribe <list> [<address>] Unsubscribe yourself (or <address> if specified) from the named <list>. "unsubscribe *" will remove you (or <address>) from all lists. This _may not_ work if you have subscribed using multiple addresses. get <list> <filename> Get a file related to <list>. index <list> Return an index of files you can "get" for <list>. which [<address>] Find out which lists you (or <address> if specified) are on. who <list> Find out who is on the named <list>. info <list> Retrieve the general introductory information for the named <list>. intro <list> Retrieve the introductory message sent to new users. Non-subscribers may not be able to retrieve this. lists Show the lists served by this Majordomo server. help Retrieve this message. end Stop processing commands (useful if your mailer adds a signature). Commands should be sent in the body of an email message to "Majordomo(a)tradinghouse.com". Multiple commands can be processed provided each occurs on a separate line. Commands in the "Subject:" line are NOT processed. If you have any questions or problems, please contact "Majordomo-Owner(a)tradinghouse.com".

IMPORTANT; Aut-num objects.
by RIPE Database Administration 03 Nov '97

03 Nov '97

Dear Colleagues, The data file and index file of the aut-num objects were corrupted this morning. This caused the aut-num objects not to be available. We regenerated the indexes. However, we discovered that some aut-num objects were missing. Thus, we rebuilt the data file using a back-up copy and generated new indexes. The aut-num objects file was reliable until 00:00 hours UTC on Monday, 3 November. The whois service was reliable again at 17:00 hours UTC this evening and the ftp copy of the aut-num objects was valid again at 20:00 hours UTC tonight. We are aware that this may have caused you some inconvenience; we therefore fixed the problem as fast as we could. If you use the data in the aut-num objects file as a basis for build routing tables or any similar purpose, we recommend that you obtain a new copy of this data from our ftp-site. Only the aut-num objects were affected this morning. The other database objects appeared not to be affected. If you have anymore questions, please contact <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>.

I got further (not too serious) ideas: What about creating two databases? (Two categories of objects.) One for objects sent by non-registries, and one for well maintained, authentic objects. Peoples could send objects to the level1 database, and registries could move the correct ones to level2. Level1 objects older than 6 months will be automatically and silently deleted. Level2 objects should be updated at least once a year, otherwise a warning message goes to the maintainer registry. After a certain period forgotten level2 objects go back to level1. All current object is on level1. Regards Gabor

Folks, thanks for bringing this up for discussion! >The other point is to prevent the RIPE database from further pollution. >There should be some settings to guarantee this. What is your opinion: >should I post my suggestions just to 'lir-wg(a)ripe.net'and 'db-wg@ >ripe.net' or in addition also to 'local-ir(a)ripe.net'? I'll try to summarize from my point of view (both as DB-WG chair, Local-IR rep and of course as a dumb user :-) We have long since worked from the assumption that the "owner" of an object is responsible for it's on-going maintenance. We have always felt, that tigthening the rules too much would have a negative impact on all parties' willingness to register (at all) or to perform updates regularly. Then we introduced measures to protect *existing* objects by limiting the sources where updates (+ deletes :-) are accepted from (maintainer mechanism). This is particularly relevant for the IP Registry and for the Routing Registry. The next step has been protection of hierarchies in the object space with the mnt-lower mechanism, in particular for the Domain-Registry. Right now the Routing-WG and the NCC are working on the implementation of cross-notification for the routing registry. All of these mechanism can by now (or very soon) be used to ascertain a useful level of security and update control, including the referenced objects. This leaves us with two major weaknesses - or features: - A considerable percentage of the objects is not yet protected by the mechanisms which are readily available, and "tightening" the ropes requires a more careful approach by the various registries - leading to more work, in the end. In particular if we think about "owning" and protecting the person objects as referenced by data for the various registries.... - Nothing is there to prevent *any* party to put e.g. person objects into the DB. (And I certainly appreciate that myself!) Also, I suppose some other types of objects can be put into the DB without problems, unless they are in dircet conflict with one of the well-managed object spaces for a particular registry. This leaves us with a legacy of entries from the "Dark Ages" of DB deployment and with the on-going pollution of object space by way of "user error". This aspect is being addressed by the DB-Consistency Project. We work towards offering mechanisms to identify inconsistencies as described by a "catalogue of frequent problems" as well as by coming up with the logistics to repair these deficiencies. Again, to be successful, the registries shall be required to spend (considerable?) effort to participate in that activity. So what can be done on top of that to improve the situation? - We can offer improved mechaisms to deal with identification and authentication: this is on the agenda for the DB-Security Task Force. - We can try to improve the user interface. In particular to help the end-users to avoid the popular crimes like putting in just another person object as soon as there's a new reference: We (the AT-TLD administration) are in the process of designing and prototyping an interactive interface that should prevent most of these incidents. We're in contact with the NCC to determine the usefulness of that approach. Please stay tuned. - Last but not least we could think about "closing" the DB for public, that is anonymous, update or registration of objects. I think *that* would require *very* careful consideration, discussion, and establishing a broad consensus across (all of) the RIPE-WGs. I'd also expect considerable impact on activities like RIDE. But it is certainly not impossible to get that discussion going. Although (wearing no hat at all right now :-) I do not see a pressing need right now - taking into account that we have a set of mechanisms in the works to improve the situation. Comments and input welcome! Apologies for the lengthy speech...

Dear Carsten, Yes indeed, the consistency problems in the RIPE database are well known and are even well documented in: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/info/consistency* and ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/presentations/ripe-m26-orange-dbcons.ps.gz or http://www.ripe.net/meetings/ripe/ripe-26/pres/db-consist/ Our plans to deal with them are also documented in: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/presentations/ripe-m27-orange-woeber-dbcons.ps.gz or http://www.ripe.net/meetings/ripe/ripe-27/pres/db/consistency/ We do plan to try to eliminate multiple objects pointing to the same person, as well as other clean ups of the person data. [As a side note, this project is now well underway.] We have not however discussed limiting the ability to enter data in the RIPE database, outside of the current and proposed authorization mechanisms. That would certainly be a significant change of course, and for that reason, I have cc'd the RIPE Database working group on this mail to get their feedback on this idea.

The job of admin people at ISP's is rough enough as it is. I'd personally rather see every possible effort made to decrease work loads on everyone's part, and to decrease the number of things that need to be remembered.

RIPE Database software release 2.1
by Chris Fletcher 27 Oct '97

27 Oct '97

RIPE Database software Version 2.1 is now available from: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/software/ripe-dbase-2.1.tar.gz The release notes are included below. There a some new features including a new installation procedure and conversion to perl5. Please let us know if you have problems. Replies to <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Chris Fletcher - RIPE NCC RELEASE NOTES for RIPE Database 2.1 SUPPORTED SYSTEMS This release has been tested with perl5.00401 on bsdi2.1 and GNU/linux systems. Please let us know if you have problems running it on other systems. FEATURES When an update sends an acknowledgement and a notification to the same mail address one or the other can be suppressed see SUPPRESSMESS in the config file. New concise format for acknowledgements and notifications. '-v' provides detailed object descriptions. Re-implemented Makefiles and package configuration for ease of use. Includes an 'uninstall' target to carefully remove the executable and libraries when upgrading. Now two help files, one about the whois interface delivered by whois and one about the mail interface delivered by mail. Notifications are sent when an object is created with a notify: attrib. Whole package runs under perl5.004 with DB_File interface to Berkley db. Perl5 hides a lot of platform specific things from scripts so various configuration options have been made obsolete and removed. DB_File allows you to increase the size of the in memory db file cache which greatly improves indexing performance. see DBCACHESIZE We have not tried it with other DBM packages but it should not be hard to change if you want to use GDBM_File. This could become a configuration option (or maybe use AnyDBM_File) if there is demand for it. Changed syntax of 'changed:' & 'withdrawn:' to allow a 4 digits in the year part of the date (8 digits in total rather than 6). Automatically added dates are 8 digits. Existing 6 digit date fields are left unchanged. BUG FIXES added word boundary matches to subject line parsing now matches 'new object' and not 'My Apple Newton'. added 'i' to regexp check of MAIL-FROM so is not case-sensitive changed code to match comments in ripedb.config won't log incoming serial updates to files if SERIALINCOMINGDIR is not defined. MISC Added copyright message to all source files to better assert our rights but licence has not changed from previous versions. I have had problems with bitwise operations on the large integers used to represent IP addresses. With some versions of perl5 a bitwise '&' returns a signed result. This causes classless lookups to fail. See comments about iprightzeromask in misc.pl. It seems to work with perl5.00401 Changes to ripedb.config The following values have been removed... HELP (replaced by WHOISHELP & AUTODBMHELP) RENICECMD (optional - will use setpriority(2) if not set) The following values have been added...

Please read RIPE-157, section 2.3.3., Authorization Schemes (shouldn't that be "Authorisation", Ambrose? :-). There is a section labeled, `The "MAIL-FROM" scheme:', which explains that the MAIL-FROM value in the "mntner" object is treated as a regular expression, against which From:- headers will be matched. So, yes the "eval" is necessary to make sure people submit a valid regex in their "mntner" objects. While we are on the subject, RIPE-157 mentions that the regex should comply to the rules in "POSIX 1003.2 section 2.8." Not having read that document, I wonder if the POSIX syntax and Perl are identical. "syntax.pl" checks whether the regex is Perl-compliant. For example, does '(abc)' mean "the literal string '(abc)'", or (a-la Perl), "the subpattern 'abc'"? Cheers, Steven

Dear Colleagues, This afternoon, two large update messages were sent to <auto-dbm(a)ripe.net>. They were sent very close together in time. This has created a queue which is longer than normal. We expect this queue to be at its normal size soon. We thank you for your patience. You are not required to send in your update message again. We ask that you think of other users when you send in long update messages; please send them in outside working, "office" times. If you have any questions, please contact <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>.
