I'd like to come back to the *original* question or suggestion: to teach the DB software to accept FQDN notation (trailing ".") for lookup keys that denote domain names. Pro / Con? As a dumb user of the DB I definitely stumble into that one myself, sometimes, so I am in favour of this (hopefully simple?) change. Btw, if this gets implemented, it should also work for the referral domain objects! Wilfried.

Poetry object
by Titley, Nigel 13 Sep '04

13 Sep '04

In checking through the minutes and actions I note an action [AP48.3] on myself to clarify the issue of tech-c on the proposed poem: object. My proposal is that to be consistent we should have the tech-c attribute on both the Poem: and the Poetic-form: object. I also note Ulrich's suggestion that we should add the mnt-irt attribute to the Poem: object in order to provide a means of reporting abuse of (or by) the poem, and agree that this could be useful. Hopefully its inclusion at this early stage of the proceedings will allow tool-writers to make use of it rather than parsing lists of changed: attributes. I don't think we need the irt-mnt attribute on the Poetic-form object, but I'm willing to be persuaded. Please could I have comments on this, with the hope that we can tie off this action in Manchester, and get the new objects into the database.

domain: object normalization
by Pim van Pelt 06 Sep '04

06 Sep '04

Hi, I keep on bumping into something with the RIPE database. I'm used to the pedantic trailing dot in hostnames, such as 'www.bit.nl.'; I also always write domains like so: '122.109.193.in-addr.arpa.'. $ whois -h whois.ripe.net 122.109.193.in-addr.arpa. % This is the RIPE Whois server. % The objects are in RPSL format. % % Rights restricted by copyright. % See http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/pub-services/db/copyright.html %ERROR:101: no entries found % % No entries found in the selected source(s). Without the trailing dot, this works just fine. Is it feasable to have the scanner normalize the hostname/domain into something that your backend can look up ? -- Met vriendelijke groet, BIT BV / Ing P.B. van Pelt PBVP1-RIPE (PGPKEY-4DCA7E5E)

Virus Warning from the RIPE NCC
by Gerard Leurs 10 Aug '04

10 Aug '04

Dear Colleagues. We are sorry for duplicate emails. On Monday 9 August 2004, a virus (bagle) was mailed to several mailing lists operated by the RIPE NCC. Unfortunately, the virus passed through the filters of several of these lists. At the moment of writing we know this happened for the db-wg, eof-wg, routing-wg. And the wg-chairs. Please do not open any suspicious .zip files. Please make sure you delete any such mails. The RIPE NCC is working to resolve the issue. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. Regards, Gerard Leurs, Operations department, RIPE NCC.
