Munge Script Still a thing?
by Chris Maness 16 Dec '20

16 Dec '20

I have been inactive for a long time, and I am trying to get my Raspberry Pi to talk to 44 net the way I did with my slackware boxes 10-15 years ago. I am not having a lot of luck doing things the way I did back in the day. Maybe a bruit force munge script is the way to go. What is the current way to pull the encap.txt? 73 de Chris KQ6UP

gmail bounces
by G1FEF 15 Dec '20

A bit off-topic, but does anyone know anything about what’s going on with gmail currently? I’m getting hundreds of bounce messages from posts sent to this list but only for @gmail.com emails. It’s not specific to us either, a groups.io <http://groups.io/> group I’m a member of is experiencing the same issue. Chris

ampr-rip2d on Raspberry Pi?
by Chris Maness 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

I was able to compile the above daemon on my Pi 4. My Pi is exposed to the wild with a static IP. When I run the daemon with the -dg option (to hang in the foreground) , it does not exit or crash. But I get no notices of traffic or nothing happens in the system's routing tables. Is a password needed? I do see a flag for that, but the website for the daemon has it showing output even without a password. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -73 de Chris KQ6UP SK..

Hi Pierre, Thank you for the heads up. I was aware of altdb but it hadn't crossed my mind. Hopefully one of these solutions will work :-).

44NET Route Objects IRR
by James Colderwood 13 Dec '20

13 Dec '20

Hi All, May I wish you all happy holidays! Quick question, I'm working on establising my 3rd upstream but hit a snag. The suppliers validation automation prohibits announcing AMPR addresses as the system can't qualify validity. This isn't a deal breaker for me as they can announce my PA/PI IPv6 space. My question is, what are the future plans as many operators are going this route? -- Kind Regards James B Colderwood M0ZAH
