[Ddclient-support] Avoiding update when the IP has not changed

[Roberto P. <ik...@gm...>]

Hi all,

   I have seen on the syslog that ddclient write a warning

WARNING: updating ....  nochg: No update required; unnecessary attempts 
to change to the current address are considered abusive

   So checking the code (from my little understanding) it seems that the 
update procedure will happen also when the IP
   hasn't changed.
   I have then added a little piece of code (just for the no-ip section 
but similar can be done on dyndns section)
   This little piece of code check the ip for the host to be updated 
against the one obtained by Google dns server.
   If the wanted ip address is same of the one obtained from google DNS 
server 8.8.8.8 then a "SUCCESS" message
   will be printed and remain part of the code will be skipped for that 
host.
   Here my diff of original client and my mod

   I don't know if this feature is already present on the code and was 
just me that didn't realyze that.

      If not, i hope someone will do similar change on the mainained 
code adding same also on dyndns part.

          Cheers

     Roberto

This is a good point.  If I'm breaking people's configuration, I won't
use a default provider.

But I really want to give as sign to dyndns I don't like their decision
to stop the free service even if you use any other payed service. Maybe
I could check with the people providing the package for ddclient on the
different distributions what's their opinion.

wimpunk.

POLA [1] would dictate to leave the default as-is, as to not
break the configuration of people relying on the current default
(some users might actually stay with dyndns, some might be paying
customers today already).  POLA would be important too for
distributions packaging ddclient, in their continuous struggle to
provide clean upgrade paths to their users.

If you are willing to break some people's configurations, then I
would suggest removing the default altogether and not having a
default protocol, thereby forcing people to explicitly specify
their service in the configuration.  This seems to be cleanest
from a technical point of view and it does not endorse any
specific provider of dynamic DNS services.

[Ddclient-support] Replacement for the default service

[wimpunk <wi...@us...>]

Hi all,

It's been announced a while and now dyndns will stop offering free
services.  I don't know yet which service I will use but which one would
you suggest for ddclient as default service?  Any special reasons why?
I thought we discussed this earlier but I can't find anything about it
in de history of the mailing list.

[Ddclient-support] Add nsupdate(1) support

[wimpunk <wi...@us...>]

Hi all,

I got a pull request [1] on github but I can't decide if it is a good
idea to add the service.  It would add support for nsupdate on ddclient.
 Does anyone out there has any comments on this?

I don't know what to tell you,  it put it in both places.  Its all sorted out now.  Since I upgraded to the new version everything works properly.  I appreciate your help.

Re: [Ddclient-support] something hosed up

[wimpunk <wi...@us...>]

Hi,

I really don't understand how you can break your system that hard it
uses /etc/init.d/ddclient in stead of /usr/bin/ddclient after a default
install.  A default debian installation installs its configuration in
/etc/ddclient.conf.

What do you mean if you say you putted 'hostname=' in front of the
hostname? Do you mean in front of '*****.dnsapi.info'?

If ddclient isn't in your path, you could try to run it with the path
specified which should be /usr/sbin/ in a default debian installation.
You could try to find the logging in syslog or run the verbose version
as specified before.

Regards,

wimpunk.

Believe I fixed it. Put hostname= in front of the hostname, starts

Sounds like your path includes a script file rather than the real

I have a feeling its not reading my .conf but a default.conf file
somewhere else. I installed with apt-get (Debian) and it asked me some
questions but I never did find where it created a .conf file. I created
the one you see in /etc/ddclient (create the dir and cache dir too).

Re: [Ddclient-support] something hosed up

[Anonymous W. V. <an...@ri...>]

OK, 'ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet' returns nothing but
[ ok ] Usage: /etc/init.d/ddclient {start|stop|restart|force-reload}
When I add start to the mix it returns nothing. Here's my
/etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf:

daemon=60                               # check every 60 seconds
syslog=yes                              # 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
use=web, web=myip.dnsdynamic.com        # get ip from server.
server=www.dnsdynamic.org               # default server
login=****@******.net                    # default login
password=*****                       # default password
server=www.dnsdynamic.org,              \
protocol=dyndns2                        \
*****.dnsapi.info

I checked the server listed in a browser and it returns my IP correctly.
btw, I'm using http://mxtoolbox.com/DnsLookup.aspx to test this.
Appreciate any ideas!

As written on http://sourceforge.net/p/ddclient/wiki/Home/#documentation
`ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet` is a big help.  Post your
configuration and the result of the verbose output to pastebin or
something alike and put a link here.

[Ddclient-support] something hosed up

[Anonymous W. V. <an...@ri...>]

Hi guys, I just installed ddclient and I've clearly got something hosed
up, might be the 'use' line in the .conf file, might be something else.

When I go to whatsmyip.com I get a 108.70.*.* ip, this is correct for my
VPN. However, when I resolve my ddns name I a 192.168.*.* ip, my
internal ip from the router.

I'm guessing this is a common newb error, can you help me sort it out?

[Ddclient-support] Upgrade on Ubuntu 12.04

[Paul N. P. <pau...@gm...>]

Hello!

I have ddclient 3.8.0 on Ubuntu Server 12.04 and I'm just reading that there are issues with this version with afraid.org.

I apologize if this is a totally ignorant question, but can I just drop in the /usr/sbin/ddclient file for 3.8.2, change the file locations in it to match what the Ubuntu package uses, and have it 'just work'?

Thanks!

[Ddclient-support] Ddclient can now be found on github (sort of)

[wimpunk <wi...@us...>]

Hi there,

For those who might be interested: I've imported the current subversion
version of ddclient into github.  It should make it possible to push
patches using git.
Next step will be cleaning up the current repo and releasing a new version.

See you soon,

wimpunk.

I get those to.  I haven't looked very closely into this problem but I
guess it happens when one of the three servers isn't reacting.  On the
next try, dns should give another IP which normally functions.  Maybe we
could add an extra feature which would add a retry.

Yes it does.  If it doesn't you'll get another email.

You may add the option but I don't think it's useful.

[Ddclient-support] ddclient TIMEOUT

[Timothy M. <gay...@ei...>]

I'm running ddclient on a remote server (under CentOS-6.4).
Two or three times a day I get email from ddclient saying
"TIMEOUT: checkip.dyndns.org after 120 seconds".

As far as I can see, ddclient checks the IP address every 10 minutes.
So can I assume that ddclient got the address the next time it tried?

Assuming this is the case, it might be helpful if ddclient could
send email the next time it successfully checked the address?

[Ddclient-support] Zone edit: update failed with error code 702

[wimpunk <wi...@us...>]

Hi,

Is there anyone out there who's using zone edit and could help on a
recent post [1].  As you can see in the discussion, I don't really
believe the patch is a good fix but I want to be sure.

Sorry..   I listed %23A where it should just be %3A.

Re: [Ddclient-support] wrong ip address picked up from firewall/router

[Kurt B. <ku...@no...>]

If the encoding is done right on ddclient you can use the group password by altering the username sent to us.  We accepted the username in the form of username:group along with the group password on our other protocols.  But with the HTTP Basic Authentication the ":" can not be used.  So the fix is to replace it with the url encoded form of a colon or optionally a pound "#" symbol.  Details below.



First, make sure you have a username set for the account (not an email).  
Second, create a group, assign your favorite host to it and set a password for that group.
Third,  in ddclient set your username to a string that looks like the below one.

username#groupname   (your noip username, a pound symbol then the name of the group)

Note: If that does not work, replace the # symbol with a  %23A  (which is url encode for a colon) to separate the username and group name.

Fourth, in ddclient set the password field to the group password.

Lastly, make the the host you have ddclient set to update is actually in the group on our site.


Feel free to reply directly to me.

What do you have to do to get ddclient to work with No-IP using a
group with its own password?  (I switched from dyndns in order to get
different passwords for host authentication & account management.)

Re: [Ddclient-support] new ssl errors on a couple of hosts

[Rodrigo A. <ro...@eu...>]

Hi.

Seems to me your error is unlikely to be ddclient's fault.

I'm not an expert on FreeBSD, but I'd say it's related to your
security/ca_root_nss port (which contain the base certificate
authorities that allow certificates to be verified). It's probably not
installed or needs an update.

Other than that, might be related to your perl installation itself, more
precisely your security/p5-IO-Socket-SSL port might need to be updated too.

Hope it helps.

Regards.
