ddclient ??
Fedora 8 x86_64
Setting up ddclient.conf , when I finnished I got one successful send to my Dns server, see below; Jan 30 16:58:39 localhost ddclient[1987]: SUCCESS: updating ******.homedns.org: good: IP address set to 78.258.237.180 It should have updated in another 10 minutes but it hasn't since then. Below is the ddclient.conf file, Why isn't it updating, The ddclientd is running in services. daemon=600 syslog=yes pid=/var/run/ddclient/ddclient.pid use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org/ login=******** password=******* bob.homedns.org protocol=dyndns2 server=members.dyndns.org wildcard=YES #use=if, if=eth0 #example.dyndns.org #custom=yes, example.com |
The version of ddclient I'm running checks the file /etc/ddclient/ddclient.cache first. If the value cached is different to the actual value of the IP address, then it connects and updates the record. Otherwise, it doesn't need to connect again.
|
I don't have a /etc/ddclient/ddclient.cache directory.
The only thing I have in /etc is the ddclient.conf file. My version of ddclient is ddclient-3.7.2-1.fc8 |
I'd confirm that it's running by checking the pid with:
Code:
ps aux | grep `cat /var/run/ddclient/ddclient.pid` | grep -v grep Code:
ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet You may also be able to use wireshark to sniff the packets and see what is going wrong. |
My ddclient.cache is in;
/var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache I see what you mean, ddclient will check for new IP every 10 minutes if it doesn't change from what /var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache has stored it won't do a update . |
Quote:
Some DDNS providers don't like repeated attempts to update and treat it as cracking if it continues. Although I've had a warning message from DynDNS, I've never had a disruption to the service. |
Thanks for your help guys.
Now all I have to do is get NX working on my x86_64, I have used it quit successfully on my i386 boxes. |
