Thanks, just created a person and a mntner object :-)

The Documentation is misleading.
https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/support/documentation/ripe-database-documentation/10-authorisation/10-1-authorisation-model
say:
	Example:

	auth: MD5 $1$a..."

but it should say
	Example:

	auth: MD5-PW $1$a..."
