ddclient under 9.2

I installed ddclient from the 9.2 dvd and set it up using chkconfig as per the documentation. This broke my /etc/init.d configuration. The SuSE rpm seems to run in daemon mode without me having to do anything to the installation apart from change the settings in ddclient.conf under /etc. It used to send messages by e-mail to root but now it's silent even though it's working OK. Anyone else using the SuSE rpm as opposed to the tar file? Cheers, Steve.
