hm, sorry, I've been to fast sending my message.
Ddclient forces an update every 15days by default, depending on the maxinterval
setting.  One of my connections is pretty stable to, and the maxinterval works
pretty fine for me.  I check my router every 5 minutes for a changed WAN IP
and if it's changed or the max interval is passed, ddclient tries to update.
Dyndns reponds by a "nochg" answer if you tried to update with the same IP but
the last changed date is updated in the dyndns database.
Your success aswer is pretty correct.  Dyndns mentions that you didn't change
your IP but that doesn't matter.
Just to be complete: next release of ddclient will have a more correct interval
of 30days which is between the recommendations of ddclient (between 25 and 35
days).

Greetings,

wimpunk.

If you didn't change anything, ddclient does make an update before 35 days.
The interval is defined by the max-interval setting which defaults on 15 days.

[Ddclient-support] [ddclient - Help] Expiring DynDNS account after 35 days

[SourceForge.net <no...@so...>]

Read and respond to this message at: 
https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4140143
By: evinzor

I'm using ddclient to automatically update my DynDNS account dynamic ip. I have
found that ddclient does not take into account the 35 day idle time limit DynDNS
has on its dynamic ips. I came back from holiday yesterday only to discover
that my dyndns account had been closed 4 days earlier. I guess that's the downside
of having a really stable connection...
Is there a way to force ddclient to update the IP, even if no change is necessary?
I tried making a monthly cron job that calls ddclient with -force but apparently
that doesn't force the update either since the web service itself reports the
same ip as ddclient is trying to set and ddclient just goes all:
SUCCESS:  updating evinyatar.ath.cx: nochg: No update required; unnecessary
attempts to change to the current address are considered abusive

Any ideas?

ddclient has to be able to login to namecheap so it needs your login.

You make your life to hard.  When updating, ddclient sets that
host_name=robdartnell.com.  So you don't have to worry about the faq
on namecheap.

[Ddclient-support] Email to ddclient-support

[Rob D. <am...@ya...>]

Hi,

I wish to send the following email to
ddclient-support:

===

I am using dynamic dns provided by namecheap.
>From their faq, i notice from the relevant url:
http://dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com/update?host=host_name&domain=domain.com&password=domain_password[&ip=your_ip]

that the unique information is:
 - host_name
 - domain.com
 - domain_password
 - (and optional ip address)

i am using ddclient which suggests the following setup
for its configuration file:
## NameCheap (namecheap.com)
##
# protocol=namecheap,                           \
# server=dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com,       \
# login=my-namecheap.com-login,                 \
# password=my-namecheap.com-password            \
# myhost.namecheap.com

my questions are:
- do you require the namecheap login to be posted in
the ddclient request?
- what is host_name, and how is it relevant to the
dynamic DNS?

my current config is as below: 
daemon=300
protocol=namecheap
server=dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com
login=**my_login**
password=**my_password**
robdartnell.com

as you can see, i simply specified the domain and left
out the host_name.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers - Rob

[Ddclient-support] Bugfix: ddclient always sends email when not running as a daemon

[Daniel T. <da...@dt...>]

Hi!

I encountered the following bug:
When ddclient isn't running in daemon mode, it always sends mail to the 
mail-failure address, even when the dns got updated successfully.


When ddclient isn't running in daemon mode, it modifies the variable 
$result like this before calling sendmail():
    $result = $result eq 'OK' ? 0 : 1;

Sendmail() then checks whether $result is equal to 'OK', and if it 
isn't, mail gets sent to the failure address...

I've attached a patch, hope you like it :)

Thank you for the patch.  It's been on my todo list for a while but I
didn't take the time to work on it.  It will be applied on the next
release.

[Ddclient-support] Patch: Treat --daemon values as intervals

[<ja...@hu...>]

Attached is a patch to r27 of ddclient.  The patch changes --daemon values to
be intervals all of the time, instead of intervals some of the time and
number of seconds the rest of the time.

This fixes a fairly nasty bug, where values such as '5h' were treated as
zero by the 'sleep' function.

[Ddclient-support] Ddclient 3.7.0 released with https-support.

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

Halleluja!  It's out there!  Ddclient 3.7.0 is finally released.  It's
been taking a while but it has a pretty nice improvement.  With the
help of perlhaq ddclient can update your favorit dynamic dns provider
using https.  Checkout README.ssl for more information on how to use
it.
There's more.  Check the changelog for more details.
This release wasn't possible without the help of perlhaq and  ddfisher.

Nevermind, I figured it out I made my ddclient.conf look like:

protocol=zoneedit1
server=www.zoneedit.com
login=userid
password=password
host.domain.com
use=web
web=checkip.dyndns.org:8245

and I needed to delete my ddclient.cache before it would update

[Ddclient-support] Problem updating zoneedit

[Jay S. <me...@he...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to update zoneedit.com.  I'd like to obtain my IP address 
from a webpage like checkip.dyndns.org:8245 (I can't tell if zoneedit 
provides the same type of webpage).

I keep getting a login error (below), even though I'm providing the 
correct userid and password (changed below for posting).

I have rtfm, looked at the examples.  I'm sure I'm missing something 
easy but I don't see it

Thanks for the help
Jay
