Yesterday I finished the RIPE LIR Cource second time.
They told us, that database objects are filtered since some weeks and with the -B you can get it unfiltered. This fact I was searching 2 weeks ago for some hours. I didnt recognise the announcement on db-wg mailinglist.
My opinion is, that this is a useless feature. It does confuse the NOC people and spammer do know to bypass this anyways.
Also you cant use webupdate if your maintainer only has a pgp-key. Thats realy bad … so you need X509, if you have to use webupdate and wonna use secure authentification.
To remove pgp-objects, you have to contact hostmaster@ripe.net.
Other news … its allowed to make subassignments on IPv4 and new thing … lir-partitioned.
The benefit of the course … I’m fit into other great stuff, which may come up in the future … :-)
Today I was finally soldering the Serial Mod I got from Stephanie Lange and got the serial console working on a WRT54G V2.0 model.
