Hi all,
I am migrating my webserver from ubuntu to opensuse. On Ubuntu I used Inadyn which worked very well but had to be configured through the command line. It seems more sensible to do this with YaST if possible.
Does anyone know of YaST-compatible DynDNS client for OpenSUSE that I can use for freedns.afraid.org and dyn.org?
I do this with the "ddclient" software. Install it via YaST (or command line: "zypper in ddclient"), and edit the config file /etc/ddclient.conf as root. There are a bazillion lines in it, but only a few need commenting out or writing new. My file contains besides all the commented lines: daemon=3600 # check every 300 seconds syslog=no # log update msgs to syslog mail=root # mail all msgs to root mail-failure=root # mail failed update msgs to root pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid # record PID in file. ssl=yes # use ssl-support. Works with # ssl-library # new IP is added as argument. use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org/, web-skip='IP Address' server=members.dyndns.org, \ protocol=dyndns2, \ login=mydyndnsname, \ password=mydyndnspw \ mydyndnshostname server=freedns.afraid.org, \ protocol=freedns, \ login=myfreednsname, \ password=myfreednspw \ myfreednshostname Watch the fact that there is a comma at the end of the lines starting with server=, protocol= and login=, but *no* *comma* at the end of the password= line. Putting a comma here will cause an error :-\ I know this very well... HTH, Werner -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
