hi denis,
I think you need the help of ripe-dbm now.
Your route object is maintained by MAINT-RGNET MAINT-RGNET uses only pgp your key-cert object holding your pgp key data is maintained by MAINT-RGNET
is there recommended practice to avoid this trap? always keep an md5 password active too? that would seem ill-advised, yes?
So you need your old key in order to sign the update to your key-cert object with the new key data. If you no longer have this you will have to ask ripe-dbm to temporarily add an MD5 password to MAINT-RGNET. Then you can authorise your change to the key-cert with the password, then take the password out of the mntner.
ok. i can try that. thanks for help. but ... but the root question is why i am getting no email back from auto-db? it should at least be telling me my mail was signed incorrectly. randy
