HELP! finger handle... out of order
Hello, please give me the chance again, to get RIPE-Handles for person via the finger- or an other service. We use RIPE-Handles in our internal customer-database, the use of AUTO-Handle needs a rewriting of several tools, if possible at all. At the ripe-meeting in Berlin, it was said, that the auto-assign will be an _addional_ feature.

I have to apologize for this. I didn't realize this when I put the new finger text in production. I have immediately put the finger functionality back, however you will first get a message that advises you to use the AUTO NIC handle assignment feature and information how it works. Does this work for you ?

The finger tool is a very inefficient tool and should get a rewrite if we want to keep it. We had to take emergency measures last week to avoid an complete overload on the database machine solely caused by the finger tool. This is the reason we would like that this tool goes eventually. It is possible to make the tool more efficient and acceptable but this will take some extra time that we probably better use for new database development work. But of course the choice is up to the RIPE community. David K. ---

It does, thanx for the fast reaction.

Changes are okay in general. But I think, most ISPs use tools to query the RIPE-Database, and preprocess your output.
