Title: Yi.org not changing IP
Post by: luisc on September 17, 2004, 05:24:20 AM

I signed up with yi.org for Domain and Dynamic DNS. I cannot get yi.org to update my IP on SME 6.01-01. I have looked through the Forums and cannot find much info on setting this up. Help Please.

This is the cron message I got:

/etc/cron.weekly/refresh-ddns:

not sure about if this file is the problem as it says Ignore domain parameter since yi.org only manages subdomains of yi.org...

#!/bin/sh
# Description: www.yi.org (free service)

#------------------------------------------------------------
# Send DNS IP address update to yi.org. Ignore DOMAIN
# parameter since yi.org only manages subdomains of yi.org.
#------------------------------------------------------------

IPADDR=$1
USERID=$2
PASSWD=$3
DOMAIN=$4

DATETIME=date
lynx -source -auth="$USERID:$PASSWD" "http://www.yi.org/bin/dyndns.fcgi?ipaddr=$IPADDR" | sed -e "s,^,$DATETIME: ," -e "s,<.*\?>,,g"

ok, I got the solution from the owner of yi.org;

Open this file;
/sbin/e-smith/dynamic-dns/yi

change this:

Quote

lynx -source -auth="$USERID:$PASSWD" "http://www.yi.org/bin/dyndns.fcgi?ipaddr=$IPADDR" | sed -e "s,^,$DATETIME: ," -e "s,<.*\?>,,g"

to this:

Quote

lynx -source -auth "$DOMAIN:$PASSWD" "http://www.yi.org/bin/dyndns.fcgi?ipaddr=$IPADDR" | sed -e "s,^,$DATETIME: ," -e "s,<.*\?>,,g"

Then you can run /etc/e-smith/events/actions/update-dns with no problems.

Thank you so much. I had been trying to figure this out for about 2 weeks. It worked. Thanks again.

If only you'd known, you could have grabbed:

RPMS/noarch/e-smith-dynamicdns-yi-1.4.0-02cb.noarch.rpm

from my contribs area, and any e-smith.org mirror site, e.g:

I fussed with this for a while then figured out the all I needed to do was put the domain name in the field for the userid during the setup for the dynamic DNS for yi.org and all was well. It was confusing because the dynamic DNS setup for yi.org asks for the userid.
