 Posted: Thu Feb 24, 2005 5:35 am Post subject: Setting up ddclient |
 |
|
I was having problems with dyndnsupdate so I am moving to ddclient. I cant figure out how it works yet so I am hoping to get together enough information to 1) get mine installed and then 2) maby write it neat enough to make a little how to kind of thing. My current problem is making the ddelient.conf file. Here is mine although not literally since it contains sensitive information...
| Code: | protocol=dyndns2, \
login=<Login Name>, \
password=<Password> \
<Doamin Name>.dyndns.org
|
With the little documentation available, best seen via:
the commas seem almost magical in there position and such. I dont even know if the program is reading this file. The output of running then ddclient is the follwoing
| Code: | | WARNING: unable to determine IP address |
I was able to get a confirmation with the following syntax:
| Code: | | ddclient -verbose -use=web protocol=dyndns2,login=<dyndns login>,password=<dyndns password>,<domain name>.dyndns.org |
For the time being I guess I will just put this in my cron file, if there are questions about that, then I bet I could help.

Sorry, can't help you with ddclient, but dyndnsupdate works for me with the following setup:
| Code: | | dyndnsupdate -h kill.mine.nu -i ppp0 -u username:password -s statdns -w |
I placed this line in a script and the script is run by /etc/ppp/ip-up and it worked just fine for many years.

my conf file looks like:
| Code: | daemon=600
syslog=yes
mail=root
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org/, web-skip='IP Address'
login=<user>
password=<pass>
server=members.dyndns.org, \
protocol=dyndns2 \
<host>.homeip.net |
And this works fine here...
