Sorry to disappoint you, but... $ dpkg -s mlddc Package: mlddc Status: install ok installed Priority: extra Section: net Installed-Size: 27 Maintainer: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 3.2.2-4 Depends: libc6 Description: A client for the Monolith dynamic DNS. mlddc is a client for the Monolith ( http://www.ml.org ) dynamic DNS ( DYNDNS, http://www.ml.org/dyndns/ ) service. It updates the ML database and nameservers with the current IP. It is already packaged by John Hasler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in March. :-) > 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.

Nice idea. :-) The current mlddc package does nothing like this, i.e., the user has to add mlddc to ip-up (and perhaps ip-down? Nah, too late) manually. Maybe you could discuss with John to see if you could improve the package? :-) Welcome to Debian! :-) Anthony -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling Civil and Environmental Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Alberta, Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] Keep smiling! *^_^* Come visit Our Lady of Victory Camp -- http://olvc.home.ml.org/ or http://www.ualberta.ca/~foka/OLVC/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
