You won't believe. I don't remember if I deleted the line w/ customer (I'm typing from my work computer) but I see that in a example of a ddclient.conf I found at the internet. Anyway... I changed my password. It was composed by spaces like the following format: password: abcd efgh igkl
and I've changed for a simple new one password: wxyz ....and worked! I'm not sure if it's a bug or not. The fact is w/ the first format dyndns couldn't authenticate my username. But using the second format, the debug message changed for "SUCESS", nslook worked nicely and a friend could ping my box from outside (i mean, from the public internet) and return my ip address. :) Thanks community!!! :D Romulo Sousa On 5/20/05, Almut Behrens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, May 20, 2005 at 08:49:50AM -0300, Romulo Sousa wrote: > > 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.
