This is a set of C programs to be used in conjunction with the RIPE
|
|
database. It contains the following programs:
|
|
|
|
- whois
|
|
The RIPE version of the whois client program.
|
|
This is intended for European users as it will query a RIPE whois
|
|
server with extended whois capabilities rather than a standard whois
|
|
protocol server. The whois program is fully compatible with the
|
|
standard whois protocol and can thus replace your default whois
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
- networkupdate
|
|
A program that allows updating the RIPE database with the whois
|
|
protocol instead of the usual E-mail interface. This program can
|
|
usually only be used by the administrators of the whois server itself.
|
|
The updating mechanism is too powerfull (for now) to allow the general
|
|
public to use this mechanism. The server is protected by means of an
|
|
accesslist.
|
|
|
|
- cryptpw
|
|
Calculate a crypted password with given password and salt.
|
|
This password can then be used in the 'auth:' field of maintainer
|
|
objects.
