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.

Dear Colleagues, [apologies for duplicate postings] As a service to its members the RIPE NCC offers the "Routing Registry Training Course". The main objective of the "Routing Registry Training Course" is to familiarise the LIRs with the features of the Routing Registry, while introducing the relevant tools and services of the RIPE NCC. The course also offers practical exercises. OVERVIEW OF TOPICS COVERED IN THE COURSE: - Routing Registry as a part of the RIPE Whois Database and the Internet Routing Registry (IRR) - Specifying routing policies using (RPSL) Routing Policy Specification Language and the RtConfig tool - IRRToolSet - Routing Information Service (RIS) - Routing Registry Consistency Check Project Please note that this is an advanced course. It will: - NOT teach the basics of routing - NOT teach the basics of RIPE Database operations, - NOT describe how to receive Internet resources from the RIPE NCC - NOT describe how to operate a Local Internet Registry (LIR) The target audience of the course are technical staff of LIRs: e.g. network operators, engineers etc. This course is not intended for administrative or management staff (e.g. Hostmasters) . It is assumed that all attendees will be familiar with Border Gateway Protocol routing and with the RIPE Database (i.e. creating/modifying objects). This course is based on interactive exercises in a local network set-up. Please bring your laptops equipped with the following: - A working Ethernet card, - Three meters of Ethernet cable, - A secure connection client, - A web browser. Please be prepared to share your laptop (or at least allow another attendee to "look over your shoulder") if necessary.
