 Setting up ddclient for dyndns.org Hi all: I've emerged the ddclient and am now trying to understand it's configuration file in order to finish setting it up. As to RTFM, I have attempted to man ddclient and get No Page Found, nor does info work and yet the docs are installed but unreadable by normal means. Any input appreciated, links to proper docs more so.      |
