I'd be surprised if it was as high as 5%. True, but thats still better than having no authentication at all and its possible to require strong authentication on inetnum, route and AS objects. I just cant understand why LIR's like ARIN dont have any decent methods for this implemented in their DB. Or did this change recently? -- Arnd
