What else could I ask? :) Last night I had a bit more dig around the ddclient Debian package and learned that indeed it's already configuredas a daemon. All I had to do is to update the configuration to use the web interface to get its external IP. The docs of this package are a bit lacking.

Re: automatic dyndns client for Debian Etch?
Triggered by this thread I have just setup an account on http://www.dyndns.com/ and installed the ddclient using aptitude. First it started to supply the IP address of my own computer but that's a NAT-ed address so I had to configure it to fetch the IP from my router. As ddclient does not support my Edimax router out of the box I had to look at the status page and find out how to fetch the Internet IP address from its web based management interface. I added the following to /etc/ddclient.conf and now it supplies the external IP of my home network to dyndns. fw-login=admin fw-password=*** fw=http://192.168.2.1/stanet.asp fw-skip=IP\s*Address\s*: As ddclient is a Perl script, let me remind you that the Israeli Perl Workshop will be on 31 December 2007 http://act.perl.org.il/ilpw2007/ regards Gabor -- Gabor Szabo http://www.szabgab.com/ Perl Training in Israel http://www.pti.co.il/ Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=82476 = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: automatic dyndns client for Debian Etch?
Hi, I'm using ddclient. My blog is sitting at one my "servers" at home and ddclient works like a charm by updating my dyndns account. I moved few months ago to another city and the DSL service here is worse then Tel Aviv so every few days the DSL disconnects and reconnects, and ddclient saved my day quite few times already. ddclient is very easy to configure, runs as a daemon, caches the results, mails you for any changes.

I use the following command in my router (OpenWRT). Very good for embedded devices: wget -O /dev/null 'http://<<>>:<<>>@ members.dyndns.org/nic/update?hostname=<<>>' - Noam On Dec 15, 2007 2:41 PM, Amos Shapira <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > It seems that the no-ip.org client I've been using for a few years now > has stopped updating the account. > > I'm leaving for a few weeks in a couple of days and don't have time to > investigate this too much, so I opened an account with dyndns.org and > setup my home but all the packages I found for Debian Etch seem to be > talking about ddns.nu (which is different?) or require manual > invocation. > > Is there a simple daemon a-la the one provided for no-ip.org to keep > my address up to date within a reasonable interval? > > Thanks, > > --Amos > > = > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >
Re: automatic dyndns client for Debian Etch?
I use dyndns, too, and am interested in the subject. Therefore, I fired up aptitude in my Debian Etch installation and found the following: v dyndns-client and packages which implement the above: ez-ipupdate ddclient Both of them seem to meet the requirements. Does anyone from the mailing list have experience with those packages and can make a recommendation? --- Omer On Sat, 2007-12-15 at 12:41 +, Amos Shapira wrote: > Hello, > > It seems that the no-ip.org client I've been using for a few years now > has stopped updating the account. > > I'm leaving for a few weeks in a couple of days and don't have time to > investigate this too much, so I opened an account with dyndns.org and > setup my home but all the packages I found for Debian Etch seem to be > talking about ddns.nu (which is different?) or require manual > invocation. > > Is there a simple daemon a-la the one provided for no-ip.org to keep > my address up to date within a reasonable interval? -- "Kosher" Cellphones (cellphones with blocked SMS, video and Internet) are menace to the deaf.

Re: automatic dyndns client for Debian Etch?
Try ddclient. A perl based client to update your dynamic IP address at DynDNS.com (or other dynamic DNS services such as Hammernode, Zoneedit or EasyDNS), 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. Runs as a daemon too :) On Dec 15, 2007 2:41 PM, Amos Shapira <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > It seems that the no-ip.org client I've been using for a few years now > has stopped updating the account. > > I'm leaving for a few weeks in a couple of days and don't have time to > investigate this too much, so I opened an account with dyndns.org and > setup my home but all the packages I found for Debian Etch seem to be > talking about ddns.nu (which is different?) or require manual > invocation. > > Is there a simple daemon a-la the one provided for no-ip.org to keep > my address up to date within a reasonable interval? > > Thanks, > > --Amos > > = > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- | | Alex Alexander | http://linuxized.blogspot.com | http://www.nerd.gr \
automatic dyndns client for Debian Etch?
Hello, It seems that the no-ip.org client I've been using for a few years now has stopped updating the account. I'm leaving for a few weeks in a couple of days and don't have time to investigate this too much, so I opened an account with dyndns.org and setup my home but all the packages I found for Debian Etch seem to be talking about ddns.nu (which is different?) or require manual invocation. Is there a simple daemon a-la the one provided for no-ip.org to keep my address up to date within a reasonable interval?
