Topic: Dynamic DNS Client

[charlie]

I use zoneedit for my dynamic dns and am looking for a simple way of keeping my ip live. Here is something from there web site and I was wondering if this should work with E-smith.

    * From one of our customers: It's very easy to update the dynamic zoneedit entries on UNIX with either of these two command lines (if you have wget or lynx installed):

      lynx -source -auth=username:password 'http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=www.mydomain.com'

      wget -O - --http-user=username --http-passwd=password 'http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=www.mydomain.com'

      The correct place to call one of the above commands (or a perl client) is /etc/ppp/ip-up or /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup, which are called whenever a ppp connection is made.

Yes

There is a script on there somewhere.

I personally use ddclient

Did you have to change anything in the top part of the ddclient.conf file or did you just edit the zoneedit section? Thanks in advance.

I will post the my config later for you if you like.

I removed all of the unnecessary parts and just left the bard bones.

I then created a cron job in the template system and that did the trick.

Thanks time, I'd appreciate it. You set up a cron job? Couldn't be set to run as a daemon too?

I just realized my e-mail address was wrong (incase you want to email it instead of posting it). This post has the correct address.
