My Gentoo box is on about 18 hours per day, and is behind > a DLink firewall. I am using dyndns.org and zoneedit.com. While both are free, zoneedit allows me to use my own domainname, with dymdns.org I have to choose from some domains like dyndns.org. To update the DNS records at zoneedit, I use this line in /etc/ppp/ip- up: lynx -source -auth=USER:PASS 'http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/ dynamic.html?host=wonkology.org' And for dyndns.org, I luse a little script: #!/bin/sh addr() { line=`/sbin/ifconfig ${1:-ppp0} | grep addr` echo ${line:20:15} } ez-ipupdate --config-file /etc/ppp/ez-ipupdate.conf --address=`addr` [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/ppp cat /etc/ppp/ez-ipupdate.conf #daemon= #debug=yes #foreground host=wonkology.dyndns.org server=members.dyndns.org service-type=dyndns user=USER:PASS wildcard Alex -- Alex Schuster [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key available [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
