[db-wg] creating a mntner

so, i have a clean database, 3.2.0 server running, blah blah blah

now i have the old problem of creating a first mntner:

i run

    bin/dbupdate -c conf/rip.config -t -d
    mntner:        MAINT-RGNET
    descr:         RGnet
    admin-c:       RB366
    upd-to:        rw at rg.net
    auth:          NONE
    override:	   <cleartext override password>
    mnt-by:        MAINT-RGNET
    referral-by:   MAINT-RGNET
    changed:       randy at psg.com 20031217
    source:        RGNET
    ^D

and it pukes saying

    Create FAILED: [mntner] MAINT-RGNET
    ***Info: Syntax check passed

    mntner:        MAINT-RGNET
    descr:         RGnet
