openSuSE 10.2 fully patched :-) ez-ipupdate-3.0.11b8-162

My /etc/ez-ipupdate.conf reads as follows:

===8<-----

#run-as-user=<user> service-type=dyndns user=<my_username>:<my_password> host=<my_host_name> #wildcard #mx=<my_mx_server> interface=dsl0 daemon cache-file=/var/lib/ez-ipupdate/ez-ipupdate.cache.dsl0

===8<-----

Restarting this service:

rcezip-update restart

Shutting down ez-ipupdate done Starting ez-ipupdate done

which looks OK, until:

tail -n 20 /var/log/messages

... Jul 26 16:54:44 development /usr/bin/ez-ipupdate[6839]: malformed cache file: /var/lib/ez-ipupdate/ez-ipupdate.cache.dsl0 ...

and the dyndns is >not< updated.

Does anybody have any insight into this? Any help highly appreciated :-)

Check permissions to be sure the user under which ez runs can write there. If in doubt nuke the file and restart it. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
