Hi there,

which recommended DynDNS clients are around? A fancy perl script would
by nice. So I don't have to open new ports

cheers

Yes, that's confirmed. I am using ddclient and it works fine when
connecting to dyndns.org. It is also purported to work with:

zoneedit.com
easydns.com
hn.org
dslreports.com
orgdns.org
dnspark.com

It is a Perl script.

ddclient works fine and stable ! It took 1 minute to configure, only.

Thank you all

Shell script that uses lynx:

#!/bin/sh

# http://www.dyndns.org/developers/specs/syntax.html
# for more options

username=test
password=test
hostname=test.ath.cx
ip=`ifconfig xl0 |grep "inet " |awk '{print $2}'`
# change xl0 to out interface

echo -n ' DynDns'
echo

case "$1" in
start)
lynx -dump -auth=${username}:${password}
"http://members.dyndns.org/nic/update?system=dyndns&hostname=${hostname}&myi
p=${ip}&wildcard=OFF&offline=NO"
;;

stop)
lynx -dump -auth=${username}:${password}
"http://members.dyndns.org/nic/update?system=dyndns&hostname=${hostname}&off
line=YES"
;;

*)
echo "Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}" >&2
exit 64
;;
esac
exit 0

Awk already knows gerneral regular expression parsing (grep'ing), so you can
cut down one exec:

ip=`ifconfig xl0 |awk ' /inet / {print $2}'`.


Just little quible, no material difference from original script..
