ddclient is used to update your (dynamic) IP address at dyndns.org. Questions:
1. Section net or admin? 2. The program can use a config file to store the hostname and dyndns.org username and password. This is convenient if one is running it automatically (when dhcpcd gets a new ip, for example). I've modified ddclient to only use the config file if it is unreadable by group and other. Is this sufficient? Any better ideas? (the admin can, of course, just run it by hand and specify the user/pwd on teh command line, there is no requirement that the configuration file be used.) Here's the control file: Source: ddclient Section: net Priority: extra Maintainer: Steve Greenland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Standards-Version: 3.1.1 Package: ddclient Architecture: all Depends: perl5, debconf Description: Update dynamic IP address at DynDNS.org A perl based client to update your dynamic IP address at DynDNS.org, thus allowing you and others to use a fixed hostname (myhost.dyndns.org) to access your machine. This client supports both the dynamic and (near) static services, MX setting, and alternative host. It caches the address, and only attempts the update if the address actually changes.
