Internic PGP Auth busted

Apparently their keyserver is broken. They don't have an ETA for uptime.
If you use PGP authentication: Be warned.

According to the folks there, it's been down for quite some time (~a month).
Glad they sent us notification.

They asked that I swap PGP with CRYPT to facilitate modifications for the
near future.

hmmm to make changes you have to PGP authenticate the request....
Catch22, no?

Yes, I am being obnoxious. You can obviously call them and have them
update all your (how many?) domains manually do eliminate the pgp
requirement so that you can then change each one to CRYPT. [File away
that first response that has your encrypted password. I am told you don't
ever get it again.]

It would be Much nicer if they would just fix it.

Actually a couple of weeks ago I was able to get domains via PGP. The weird
thing was that they sent back two of them telling me they couldn't decode
them (and right there is the return email they were fully decoded). The
even stranger thing was when I resubmitted things they came back and
told me that the domains already existed. So they actually added the
domain for me and sent back the wrong message the first time.

Well uh, yeah...

Worse than that, it's been broken since before Thanksgiving and they
sent no error messages or anything! I had been trying really hard to
make changes during the holidays and no one there (even by telephone)
would tell me why my authentication was failing.

Another typical crock with this "service" provider. *sigh*

(Yeah, it frosted me; I spent a *ton* of time trying to get those
changes in!)
