Question to Linux/Astaro

Hi i need a little bit help. i`m very new in linux and i dont have enough knowledge about how linux works. a i have installed my astaro ver. 4.017 and i`m very happy about that its a big router/firewall. but i try to make my astaro dynamic with ddclient 3.6.1 and i still dont know how to get the client installed. so i make copys of ddlcient into /usr/sbin/, than ddclient.conf into ec/ddclient.conf and i changed and change hostnames, logins, and passwords. my problem now is, how can i get the client started when the system boot up. i have tried to start the client from the terminal SSH (loginuser =su) with ddclient start, but i get an error like i`m not permited to do so. can someone please help. thx

Have you tried it from console??

To have it launched at boot, put the script in /sbin/init.d; set its permissions to the convention of the other scripts in that same directory.

forces,
I tried the same as you did, but I always had the problem, thar the daemon died after some time. So I figured out a working solution.
Create a new crontab: touch /etc/crontab.ip
Edit that file to: 0 * * * * root /usr/sbin/ddclient -deamon=0
After rebooting this crontab is added to the main crontab and ddclient will look every hour for a change of the ip-address.
You can also use different time settings.
For me that works fine.

ASL only works with dyndns.org.
Search the the hacker forum for dyndns and go to http://docs.astaro.org/older_versions/ASL-V3.2/docs_v3/hacking/ and download the dyndns-client.

Cheers, Bagira

that's not really the truth - the package is prepared for dyndns.org but other services
can also be used. In this case you'd need to know how to adjust the config file.

I am using the client to update my zoneedit.com dns info.. works like a charm. That right there is proof that it does not only work with dyndns.org [:)]
