-- debconf information excluded

blanked
*** The following debconf settings were detected:

I manually added user and group ddclient to my system, and manually
chown ddclient.ddclient /etc/ddclient.conf
chown ddclient.ddclient /etc/default/ddclient
Now for me it perfectly runs as non root user with /etc/ddclient.conf:
# Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf
#
# /etc/ddclient.conf
daemon=5m
server=xxx.xxx.de
protocol=dyndns2
use=web
