Anyone have a problem with yi.org dyn dns updating itself?  I changed my ip and went too see if it updated automatically and it didn't.  I then tried to run the event manually and i get this messages

[root@garkon ip-change]# ./S85update-dns
Use of uninitialized value at ./S85update-dns line 47

which in turn turns out to be

"if ($service ne 'off')"

$service refers to
my $service = $conf {'DynDnsService'};

Which I think refers to what is set as DynDnsService in /home/e-smith/configuration.

On another note,  Is this configuration file used throughout e-smith to refer to variables in scripts? If so would it be the place to start making other variables?   I am thinking of adding "safehosts" to some scripts like hosts.allow and hosts.deny and others so i can remotely administer this box from my house and my static ip.  I have already changed the telnet and ssh command in hosts.allow so that if i make it public it really only allows my static ip but was wondering if i could just add a "safehost = ip" to the configuration file and call it from any scripts i want.

thanks for any help.  
ps. I did sign up for the dev mailing list but it doesn't seem very busy so i thought i would poist this here
