Passwords are limited to 8 characters.

Was there anything after that?

Thanks, fixed.

You created an "soamachine" configuration file, specifying that you 
would like SOA records created for new machines in the
domain_record table, but didn't specify the necessary information
(or there was a problem with it).  The confusing part is that the code
which creates SOA records reads like:

      'recdata' => "$soamachine $soaemail ( ". time2str("%Y%m%e", time). "00 ".
                   "$soarefresh $soaretry $soaexpire $soadefaultttl )"

...so even if you didn't specify any of the necessary values, you should
still have gotten an error message like:

> Error: couldn't insert SOA record for new domain: Illegal data for SOA
> reocrd:   ( 2001051800     )

I suspect you didn't report the complete error message.
