Hi,

Dear colleagues,

It was clear from the discussions at RIPE 64 that we need to change the

initial implementation of hiding the hashes for MD5 passwords in MNTNER

objects. A suggestion was made to keep the "auth:" attributes in place.

If the authentication token is an MD5 password we will remove the hash

value. All PGP and X.509 values will remain unchanged.

We have already worked on this and a sample MNTNER object would look

like the object below. We can deploy this change within the next two weeks.

i would very much like to see this implemented :-)

Although i made myself comfortable with the current "new" way of doing updates
by mail, it's annoying and certainly safes time to be able to do that again
in one step like we used to.

Thanks for this!
