Re: ez-ipupdate setup info needed
FBSD friends Installed ez-ipupdate package to use with zoneedit, but there is no setup information or description about how it works, and no zoneedit config example files. An explanation of how it works, how to activate and a working zoneedit conf file would really be great. If you installed it from ports try # /usr/local/bin/ez-ipupdate --help to get a list of options. Pay attention to the -S for your service. I would assume that you probably want this to run from boot. Check in /usr/local/etc for the ez-ipupdate.conf.sample and change it to suit your needs and /usr/local/etc/rc.d for the ez-ipupdate.sh. You may have to add ez_ipupdate_enable=YES to your /etc/rc.conf file.

Luke Thanks for your reply When I run ez-ipupdate --help or -help or help or ? it just goes to service prompt and if I hit enter again it displays msg to uses an list of names. Really need more help Umm.. how about this. The attached file ez-ipupdate.help.txt contains the output for ez-ipupdate --help. Where it says -S, --service-type, find the one you need for zoneedit. You can see my ez-ipupdate.conf only contains 6 lines, I figure you need to change the service part to zoneedit, ie the -S switch, and the user=user name[:password] to your user name and password and put that in /usr/local/etc. Copy the ez-ipupdate.sh to /usr/local/etc/rc.d Add ez_ipupdate_enable=YES to your /etc/rc.conf reboot or type # /usr/local/bin/ez-ipupdate -c /usr/local/etc/ez-ipupdate.conf Hope this is of more help Lukeusage: /usr/local/bin/ez-ipupdate [options] Options are: -a, --address ip addressstring to send as your ip address -b, --cache-file file file to use for caching the ipaddress -c, --config-file file configuration file, almost all arguments can be given with: name[=value] to see a list of possible config commands try echo help | /usr/local/bin/ez-ipupdate -c - -d, --daemon run as a daemon periodicly updating if necessary -e, --execute command shell command to execute after a successful update -f, --foreground when running as a daemon run in the foreground -F, --pidfile file use file as a pid file -g, --request-uri uri URI to send updates to -h, --host host string to send as host parameter -i, --interface iface which interface to use -L, --cloak_title host some stupid thing for DHS only -m, --mx mail exchange string to send as your mail exchange -M, --max-interval # of sec max time in between updates -N, --notify-email emailaddress to send mail to if bad things happen -o, --offline set to off line mode -p, --resolv-period sec period to check IP if it can't be resolved -P, --period # of sec period to check IP in daemon mode (default: 1800 seconds) -q, --quiet be quiet -r, --retrys numnumber of trys (default: 1) -R, --run-as-user user change to user for running, be ware that this can cause problems with handeling SIGHUP properly if that user can't read the config file. also it can't write it's pid file to a root directory -Q, --run-as-euser user change to effective user for running, this is NOT secure but it does solve the problems with run-as-user and config files and pid files. -s, --server server[:port] the server to connect to -S, --service-type server the type of service that you are using try one of: null ezip pgpow dhs dyndns dyndns-static dyndns-custom ods tzo easydns easydns-partner gnudip justlinux dyns hn zoneedit heipv6tb -t, --timeout sec.millisec the amount of time to wait on I/O -T, --connection-type num number sent to TZO as your connection type (default: 1) -U, --url url string to send as the url parameter -u, --user user[:passwd]user ID and password, if either is left blank they will be prompted for -w, --wildcardset your domain to have a wildcard alias -z, --partner partner specify easyDNS partner (for easydns-partner services) --helpdisplay this help and exit --version output version information and exit --credits print the credits and exit --signalhelp print help about signals ez-ipupdate.conf Description: Binary data ez-ipupdate.conf.sample Description: Binary data ez-ipupdate.sh Description: Binary data ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: ez-ipupdate setup info needed
Thanks, I have not read through the files you sent, but I have a point I want to clear up. I installed the package version and it does not have the help stuff. I am coming to the conclusion that the person who built the package which is distributed from the FBSD ftp site did it wrong, as it is missing this stuff you have access to. I think this is me problem. Should I submit this as problem report? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 5:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ORG Subject: RE: ez-ipupdate setup info needed Luke Thanks for your reply When I run ez-ipupdate --help or -help or help or ? it just goes to service prompt and if I hit enter again it displays msg to uses an list of names.

I think this is me problem. Should I submit this as problem report? I don't know since I have not educated myself on the process of building a package so I don't know what the intended outcome should be. Maybe you are or maybe you're not experiencing a 'real' problem. May I suggest you remove said package and just build the port, it sounds like it would save you a headache. If I recall it's not that big and wouldn't take but a few minutes. # cd /usr/ports/dns/ez-ipupdate # make install clean Cheers, Luke ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
