It shouldn't be hard to do. We've provided the framework for it to be done quite simply. AFAIK, though, noone other than Mitel has produced any e-smith-dynamicdns-* rpms. > No matter - once you've set up the config file, it's really just a > matter of putting it in crontab, or better yet, adding a line to > /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth1.exe to run ddclient every time you get handed a > different address.

There's no need to do anything other than create the correct /sbin/e-smith/dynamic-dns/xxx script. /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth1.exe already knows to call "signal-event ip-change" when an IP change occurs, and the configured dynamic dns script is already called as part of the ip-change event handling. > Maybe I'll get the time someday to wrap ddclient up in a self-installing > script for SME and post it on contribs.org ... If you do so, please make it an RPM.
