First - I did not setup the server myself so history is pretty short... Problem: The server starts, runs for a while sucking up all CPU and dies. The wrapper keeps restarting the server as long as $CRASHES -le 10 and then it shuts down. I been looking into the logs and I think there might be a problem with updating the database. When the server starts it complains about to undefined conf. variables : [cut..cut] 070103 14:02:07 whois-server started 070103 14:02:07 /usr/local/whoisserver/bin/whois-server -p /usr/local/whoisserver/bin/whois_rip.pid -c /usr/local/whoisserver/conf/rip.config.sample Configuration [/usr/local/whoisserver/conf/rip.config.sample]: Warning: undefined configuration variable: SAWFILE Warning: undefined configuration variable: UPDSOURCE Error: Incomplete configuration file.

If whoisserver starts without any warnings or errors, you will most probably be OK. Also, you can have a look at the source code at the place where it died. For example, in the above output, it died in line 781 in ud_core.c - most probably caused by the lack of the database (and the object types within). > 2) Is there a good howto somewhere with a better description of the config > values found in rip.config* and sources.config.sample*.

We use an IP address management tool based on the RIPE Whois server software. One of its main advantages is that is synchronises the assignments with e.g. the official RIPE Whois repository, and sure it can handle your mentioned stock control, allocations and assignments. A presentation I hold at ripe-50 can be found here, however we've added some more functions and IPv6 support in meanwhile: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-50/presentations/ripe50-plenary-mon-ip-management.pdf An up-to-date introduction will be held at the APRICOT meeting end of February in Bali, I'm sure the slides will be online then as well. If you're interested, I can give you more information off-list.

The project is either dead, or someone just forgot to renew the domain. Anyway. With a little help from our old trusty waybackmachine, the following downloads are available. http://web.archive.org/web/20060217144301/www.freeipdb.org/download/ Tried the software about a year back. Didn't like It that very much. Ended up writing up my own. :-) Cheers! - --Dennis Lundstr?m AS34537 GippNET AB On Jan 29, 2007, at 15:04 , wrote: > Hullo All, > > This is my first call to the forum.
