Dunno about updatedd-wrapper apart from what I read here http://www.philipp-benner.de/informatics/linux_unix/tools/updatedd/updatedd-2.2-english.pdf , but I use ddclient which does the same thing. An RPM of ddclient is on any contrib mirror. ddclient runs as a 'service' in Mandrake continuously, so it starts at boot with no delay. It updates your dynamic DNS only when your IP address changes or once every 28 days. A simple config file at /etc/ddclient.conf configures it. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
