I'm stumped.

I'm running 2.1.4 on FreeBSD 4.5-stable.

irr_rpsl_submit -D -v < update_template updates the database fine, using
an override password.

The same change submitted via email complains about the database being
unknown database:

------------------------------------------------------------


UPDATE FAILED: [aut-num] AS65500
aut-num:            AS65500
as-name:            MEEP
[snip]
mnt-by:             MAINT-AS65500
changed:            dmiller@mainexp.net 20011128
source:<?>             MEEP
#ERROR: 19: source: Unknown database


------------------------------------------------------------

I *thought* I had this working before 2.1.4.

The alias is setup as:

auto-dbm:       "|/usr/local/sbin/irr_rpsl_submit -v -f
/usr/local/etc/irrd.conf -h whois.mainexp.net"

The maillog shows it came in:

Apr 15 23:35:57 riley postfix/local[25016]: 52DAD18D4D5: 
to=<auto-dbm@whois.mainexp.net>,
relay=local, delay=0, status=sent ("|/usr/local/sbin/irr_rpsl_submit -v -f
/usr/local/etc/irrd.conf -h whois.mainexp.net")

The database looks active:

riley IRRd# show data

Lastly, in case it helps, irrd.conf:

su-2.05# cat /etc/irrd.conf 
#
#debug all /var/log/irrd.server 0
#
db_admin dmiller@sparks.net
irr_directory /usr/local/db/irrd
irr_database meep authoritative
#irr_database mainex authoritative
#irr_port 43 [ access 0 ]
debug server file-name /var/log/server.irrd
debug server syslog
#debug server syslog
debug submission file-name /var/log/submission.irrd
line vty
  login
  password ********



/var/log/submission.irrd has nothing in it, like I'm trying to connect to
some other server, despite the -h in the command line.  tcpdump doesn't
show any packets on either port 43 or 5673 while the attempted update
takes place.


Someone please hit me with a cluebyfour, I'm missing something.

Thanks,
