    hi.

    1.
    i started ddclient with
    /usr/sbin/ddclient daemon 600 -syslog -verbose -debug
    but i still dont see any log information in
    /var/log/messages.
    Why? (syslogd is running on my ubuntu)

    2.
    Do i have to execute
    /usr/sbin/ddclient with -file /etc/ddclient.conf or is this a default value?

    3.
    Is there a difference between calling ddclient with parameter -syslog
    OR
    calling ddclient without the parameter but /etc/ddclient.conf contains syslog=yes ?

    thanks...

      i found the output in /var/log/syslog ;)

      what about question 2 and 3?

        2- It will read the /etc/ddclient.conf by default.

          Note for others out there: this is only true for the current ubuntu package.  Contact kmos for more info.

      2. ubuntu related.  The package maintainer doesn't want to move the config to the correct location /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf.  Ask him about how it works
      3. no
