Re: [Ddclient-support] ddclient usage with AWS

[Vijay A. <vav...@gm...>]

Wimpunk,
       I guess it would have helped if I included the version I am using
:-P  I am using
ddclient-3.7.3-1.el5.rf.noarch.rpm<http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/ddclient/ddclient-3.7.3-1.el5.rf.noarch.rpm>from
rpmforge, which is not the latest.  I will try the latest version
(3.8)
and let everyone know if it worked or not.

Cheers,
Vijay
