Dear Richard There is an easy way to do this with Webupdates. Starting with the "Modify or Delete an object" page on the url you mentioned, https://apps.db.ripe.net/webupdates/search.html, enter your MNTNER object name in the search box then select the "modify object in single text area" option. When you click on "Search" you will see the full object, including the "auth:" attributes, in a text area. You can copy and paste this data and use any update method you choose. Please note that this only has an impact on changes to the MNTNER object itself, as requested by the community through the RIPE Database Working Group (DB WG) to hide the MD5 hashes from public view. Changing any other object type remains as it was. The change was discussed in detail on the DB WG mailing list. If you have any suggestions on this behaviour, you may wish to discuss them on that list. Full details of how the new process works can be seen here: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/denis/securing-md5-hashes-in-the-ripe-database Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group On 17/02/12:8 4:19 PM, Richard Kojedzinszky wrote:
Dear members,
Maybe a stupid question, but I am used to update objects via signed emails. Now, a mntner object cannot be queried fully, I got a filtered result always, even with the maintainer not containing md5 passwords. So I am missing the auth: fields.
$ whois -T mntner -B -r MNT-RK1387-RIPE % This is the RIPE Database query service. % The objects are in RPSL format. % % The RIPE Database is subject to Terms and Conditions. % See http://www.ripe.net/db/support/db-terms-conditions.pdf

From https://apps.db.ripe.net/webupdates/search.html altough I can query the full object:
mntner: MNT-RK1387-RIPE descr: Maintainer of RK1387-RIPE admin-c: RK1387-RIPE upd-to: richardk@tvnetwork.hu auth: PGPKEY-8F59B1B7 auth: X509-2577 mnt-by: MNT-RK1387-RIPE referral-by: MNT-RK1387-RIPE changed: richardk@tvnetwork.hu 20080417 changed: krichy@tvnetwork.hu 20090814 changed: krichy@tvnetwork.hu 20090814 source: RIPE
And as I am used to copy-paste the result, change what I like, and then send it back, this does not work anymore.
Any suggestions are welcome.
