let me try to debug by turning on debugging in ca_sourceLoader.c

# /usr/home/whois/utils/getvar -s SAMPLE -c /usr/home/whois/conf/rip.config -p dbhost       

    Inside ca_readSources() function.
    Sources file is: /usr/home/whois/conf/sources.config
    We are reading a comment or an empty line .....

    We have reached the end of a DATABASE definition
    Testing the population of the db structure:

    localhost::3306::n::rip::secret::
                                     ^
wowie zowie!  no database name       ^
the very problem we sought

guess what happens when the password is nine characters!

oh wonderful

and thanks a million for the debugging help
