Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ddclient
I am running Ubuntu Feisty.
I have a DSL line that gets disconnected every 24 hours, then upon a
reconnect gets a new IP address.
When I set both of the following settings in /etc/default/ddclient to true...
----
# Set to "true" if ddclient should be run every time a new ppp connection is
# established. This might be useful, if you are using dial-on-demand
run_ipup="true"
# Set to "true" if ddclient should run in daemon mode
run_daemon="true"
----
...then ddclient will over time spawn several, competing ddclient daemon
processes (when I noticed the issue I had 3 of them) that will almost
constantly execute update requests on the dyndns server. This got me
temporarily banned from dyndns.org, until I set run_ipup to false and
kept the run_daemon option as true, which will work fine.
My ddclient is configured to get its IP address from the interface ppp0.
