Hi there, I installed ddclient using apt-get but there is a error message when I run #ddclient -debug:
myhostname:/# ddclient -debug DEBUG: get_ip: using if, eth0 reports 201.6.77.173 WARNING: null password specified for host myhostname.homelinux.net. yoda:/home/rssousa# ddclient -debug DEBUG: get_ip: using if, eth0 reports 201.6.77.173 WARNING: null password specified for host myhostname.homelinux.net. DEBUG: DEBUG: nic_dyndns2_update ------------------- FAILED: updating d4: authorization failed (HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required FAILED: Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 11:39:49 GMT FAILED: Server: Apache/1.3.31 (Unix) mod_perl/1.29 FAILED: WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="DynDNS Members NIC" FAILED: Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 FAILED: Connection: close FAILED: FAILED: badauth) I tried to edit /etc/ddclient.conf at hand but still the errors persist. I tried to run dpkg-reconfigure for default configurations take over my previously and it didn't work. I checked all the information a lot of times including password throughout the file /etc/ddclient: myhostname:/# cat /etc/ddclient.conf # Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf # # /etc/ddclient.conf pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid protocol=dyndns2 use=if, if=eth0 custom=yes server=members.dyndns.org login=mylogin password=****** myhostname.homelinux.net It might be correct. Moreover, I restart the service throghout the /etc/init.d/ddclient restart but unfortunatelly I can connect to dyndns. Could somebody help me telling me if I missed to configure anything?
