Typos in assignments
- Date: Fri, 19 Mar 93 16:33:28 +0100
Dear Registries,
We have found that the number of typos made in assignments and database
updates is increasing too much lately. Especially mixing 192.x.y and 193.x.y
is very popular.
Also, we see a lot of 193 assignments send to <ripe-dbm>, and normal updates
send in to <assign>
We have for that purpose put some more strict checking on entries send in to
assign@localhost. For each net that is being send in the assign@localhost
we now check whether or not that network is already in the RIPE/MERIT/DDN
database. If it is, it will be initially rejected and an error will be send
to the NCC staff. The NCC staff will find out whether this is a typo, or just
usage of the wrong e-mail address. In the latter case, we will forward the
update to ripe-dbm@localhost, and it will be processed. If however a typo
seems to be made, we will contact the person that send in the entry and try
to resolve the issue. Long story short:
- only NEW 193.x.y assignments to assign@localhost
- ALL updates and other new entries to ripe-dbm@localhost
