Monolith Internet Services offers a public dynamic dns service -- I think
it would be nice to offer a working, tried framework for
auto-initialization of such a doodad.
Anyway, this will be my first package. I will have it ready in two
days, but that says nothing of whether I will have been accepted yet...
(My new maintainer app has been building up dust for about 7 days now...
Been trying to conjure joey or igor to quickly give me accounts!)
Monolith has links to MLDDC and other user frontends. As MLDDC is written
in C, while others are scripted, I chose MLDDC for speed.
There is only one problem that I have not found an answer to -- MLDDC
must revoke its DNS entries (via the NIC) BEFORE pppd dies. This cannot be
accomplished by placing a script in /etc/ip-up.d -- this requires
moditying /usr/bin/poff to revoke the records before pppd is killed.
If I am not to be allowed to do that, I call for the addition of a
"run-parts /etc/ppp/before-ppp-start.d" into /usr/bin/pon and "run-parts
/etc/ppp/before-ppp-shutdown.d" before the respective operations that are
performed in the scripts. That is, if run-parts runs its scripts in the
foreground. Otherwise it would be pointless as the scripts would be
running AS pppd dies --- pppd must die after run-parts has successfully
completed all of its tasks.
I will check on this, and for now write the config script to
modify poff.
