Friday Status Report

Hi Guys.

We made some more progress today but things went a little slower.  We
seem to have figured out/understand the guarded attribute and guarded object
stuff now.  We made a test AS1126 account and created an AS1126 file with
the single line

35.0.0.0

After answering out some directory structure questions, we got "dbupdate" to
make the change in out pilot db. (We actually pried open dbupdate and rconf.pl 
to figure out the directory structure for guardian files and along the way, 
discovered some syntax errors in our conf file!  The accounts you have up on 
whois.ripe.net helped a lot in this effort too!)  We also spent time exploring
how the system reacts to various "misguided" update attempts, etc.

It seems the main problem we have now is getting sendmail straightened out
locally in order to enable mailing to auto-dbm.  This should happen soon.
(sendmail had been disabled on the machine that we're using.)
After this is cleared up, I suspect that we'll spend a bit more time playing
with things to gain familiarity and then we'll start registering.

Thanks for the good info to help us along.

-Andy
