Hi wimpunk,
Good news!
All I needed to do was to implement the patch discussed here:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4789961
I assumed incorrectly that the latest version from subversion would have that
patch.
2- To make ddclient a better program, I'd humbly suggest that:
a- The help file contain examples. This would've helped me out a lot as I had
to tried many different combinations before namecheap would work. When the
help file talks about a password, it's not clear which password it's talking
about (your namecheap.com login, or the really long string password for dynamic
DNS). The comments in the .conf file right now assume that the user is familiar
with the DNS formats and can therefore figure out which of the two passwords
is the one to use.
So an example for multiple domains with namecheap would be:
protocol=namecheap, \
login=acmewidgets.info, \
password=47c7c61c81f949039865c88f832f733d #your dynamic DNS password, not
namecheap.com account password; this password is found under Miscellaneous -->
Dynamic DNS
www.acmewidgets.info
subdomain.acmewidgets.info
protocol=namecheap, \
login=yourcompany.com, \
password=12c7c61c81f949039865c88f832f733d
www.yourcompany.com
subdomain.yourcompany.com
By providing an example like that, it
b- hankkessel's patch is somewhat of a workaround. I'm glad that it works,
but it's not 100% ideal since it's possible for the user to configure ddclient.conf
wrong. e.g. if the conf file looked like
protocol=namecheap, \
login=acmewidgets.info, \
password=47c7c61c81f949039865c88f832f733d
www
subdomain
protocol=namecheap, \
login=yourcompany.com, \
password=12c7c61c81f949039865c88f832f733d
www
subdomain
then www.yourcompany.com and subdomain.yourcompany.com wouldn't get updated.
3- Thanks again for looking into this and for putting in work developing
ddclient.
Cheers.
Glenn
