[Astlinux-users] ddclient on Astlinux 1.3.3 ( and some earlier? )

[John N. S. <jn...@co...>]

I have been attempting to get ddclient working on the later versions and it seems that the "user defined" input to the GUI is not working properly
Because of the free service we use none of the canned defined services cannot be used
Input the data and then reboot, and no evidence that ddclient runs. The input information is correct in gui.network.conf, but nothing in /var/log/messages there was an attempt.
This USED to work in prehistoric times ( 1.4.44 ) and probably some later ones
In order to get it to work, I had to do several things  to please ddclient that generally are not correct ( or dangerous? )
Manually create the file in /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf
manual create directory /var/cache/ddclient

This does persist a reboot, but I am sure there is a better/proper way
Something in the ddclient script not revised for AstLinux?
Something I am not doing correctly?
