i´m not that crack and wondering where to put a little script into /var/chroot-pppoe/...../ip-up the automatically refresh my dynamic dns on refreshing ppp0.
not really hacking... installed the pluspack and compiled ez-ipupdate. works fine from shell "run by man" - but now i´m looking for the place where to put the script to execute it automatically on if-up ppp0 after hungup...
you should install the newest stable release 3.62 as i mentioned above. Please remeber, to use "su root" before installing ddclient und starting it (first time).
Do it just it is mentioned in the README - install it in /usr/sbin. Read my older Post for testing it - this should work.
steve, you need a startup script to start dyndns. in this case just use "named" as template and duplicate it to "ddclient" (cp named ddclient). finally edit ddclient.
Hi Seb. I worked that out after sending the post and with a bit of trial and error I got it to start. should i remove the stop and restart entries from the script or could these be used to stop and restart ddclient?
Because I have a computer on the DMZ zone running, Ftp, Http, etc., and that computer is 24x24 online, I decide to install DDclient rpm on that machine, and configure the use of the asl http proxy on /etc/ddclient.conf. I do that, because I don't like to install anything on the Asl box.
