Title: DynDns.org Problems
Post by: sm@rt on March 26, 2002, 02:56:51 AM

I have just registered or signed up with dyndns.org so that i can make use of a domain name, instead of emailing those people i want to have access to my network each time i receive a new ip.

I have been through the setup process and entered my account details, but nothing appears to be happening.

I am having to go to the dyndns.org site and manually update my details.

Can anyone help, why is this not working....

?

Cheers

Hi

Just change this file : /etc/e-smith/events/actions/update-dns
(the default file will update only "your.dyndns.org" domain)
and use something like this :

#!/bin/sh
IPADDR=$(/sbin/e-smith/db configuration get ExternalIP)
USERID="login"
PASSWD="password"
DOMAIN="your.domain.net"
/sbin/e-smith/dynamic-dns/dyndns.org $IPADDR $USERID $PASSWD $DOMAIN

No, the e-smith server will call this file automatically .
Just try it to be sure it works, and take a look in messages log,
( tail -f /var/log/messages ) the result will be in this log file .

Do you think it be possible to update multiple domains or dynamic and a custom domain by editing this file? i.e. someone.dyndns.org with a virtual domain of myrealdomain.com. Someone asked in the General Discussion forum and I was just wondering. I know you could do it with a third party update script such as ipcheck.py but it would be cleaner if you could just modify the script the Mitel way.

Ofcourse! I couldn't see the forest for the trees. I was trying to make a simple solution difficult.

Thanks!

Hi all,

Looks like I had to reinvent the wheel as I did not see this concurrent thread on the same topic running here :-).

Sorry, just got in, I was going to post to the other thread after I tested.
I'm glad you got a working solution though!
