 Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2025 6:44 am Post subject: [solved] ddclient strange behaviour |
 |
|
hi all!
last week i recompiled ddclient and also restarted it afterwards. since then i am getting lots of messages from ddclient accoirding to trials to update the ip and also the following messages:
| Code: |
ddclient[17135]: WARNING: [file /etc/ddclient.conf]> file should be owned only by ddclient or not be writable.
ddclient[17136]: WARNING: [file /var/lib/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache]> file should be owned only by ddclient or not be writable.
|
deleting the cache file and "correcting" rights of ddclient.conf as suggested here https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient/pull/413 results in correction after restart.
before:
| Code: |
ls -la /etc/ddclient.conf
-rw------- 1 ddclient ddclient 11321 Dec 18 2023 /etc/ddclient.conf
|
after:
| Code: |
ls -la /etc/ddclient.conf
-rw------- 1 root ddclient 11321 Dec 18 2023 /etc/ddclient.conf
|
after restart:
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/ddclient start
* /etc/ddclient.conf: correcting owner
* Starting DDclient ...
ls -la /etc/ddclient.conf
-rw------- 1 ddclient ddclient 11321 Dec 18 2023 /etc/ddclient.conf
|
and it begins with the first mentioned warings.
here's my ddclient.conf:
| Code: |
daemon=600 # check every 300 seconds
syslog=yes # log update msgs to syslog
mail=snIP3r # mail all msgs to root
#mail-failure=root # mail failed update msgs to root
ssl=yes # use ssl-support. Works with
#various dyndns entries....
|
can anyone help me with this??? after the recompile/restart everything works as it should and there were no changes in config made....
thx in advance

Hi,
you miss
# chmod 640 /etc/ddclient.conf
| Code: | | -rw-r----- 1 root ddclient 11321 Dec 18 2023 /etc/ddclient.conf |
- right/write by root
- readonly by ddclient (via ddclient group) |

sorry, but that did not fix it....
| Code: |
ls -la /etc/ddclient.conf
-rw-r----- 1 root ddclient 11321 Dec 18 2023 /etc/ddclient.conf
/etc/init.d/ddclient status
* status: stopped
/etc/init.d/ddclient start
* /etc/ddclient.conf: correcting mode
* /etc/ddclient.conf: correcting owner
* Starting DDclient ... [ ok ]
ls -la /etc/ddclient.conf
-rw------- 1 ddclient ddclient 11321 Dec 18 2023 /etc/ddclient.conf
|
i corrected the rights/owner as suggested, started ddclient and it shows me correction of mode and owner like before... waring messages now appear like i posted...
my init script shows me this:
| Code: |
...
checkpath -f -m 0600 -o ${command_user}:${command_group} /etc/ddclient.conf
checkpath -d -m 0700 -o ${command_user}:${command_group} /run/ddclient
checkpath -d -m 0700 -o ${command_user}:${command_group} /var/lib/cache/ddclient
...
|
so 640 for ddclient is not correct...

i think found the problem: stopping ddclient did not stop it, so many processes were there and they cause the irritation. killing all and starting it again solved the issue....
