Hi all,
I have been trying to set up inadyn for opendns.com. Somehow have not been able to get it right, can somebody help me in getting it right. I used the howto provided at http://freepage.ina-tech.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=413&forum=5&post_id=544#forumpost544
but something is wrong/lacking or I have put somethings wrong in there.

As per the guide I did the following :-

sudo gedit /etc/inadyn.conf

[code] --username myusername
--password mypassword
--update_period 60000
--alias https://updates.opendns.com/account/ddns.php? (this I am guessing is for DDNS updates thing, right, the alias thing)
--background[/code]


test that it works by typing
sudo /usr/sbin/inadyn

Now running this does not give any error which should mean tht I have configured things correctly till here.

Then I created a filed named inadyn in /etc/init.d with the following script and saved it. :-

[code] #!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
start)
/user/sbin/inadyn
;;
stop)
;;
*)
echo @"Usage: $0{start}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0[/code]

Now do not know whether the script is right or not. I have no idea what the script actually does

Made the file executable chmod 775 /etc/init.d/inadyn

Changed directories to /etc/rc2.d
Created a link to the /etc/init.d/inadyn file
ln -s /etc/init.d/inadyn S30inadyn

Now when I have rebooted I have no idea if inadyn is running or not
they have given a way to find out if inadyn is running or not

ps -A | grep inadyn

now ps is supposed to give a snapshot of current processes, I do not know what the above script has done, can somebody enlighten me if I need to do something more/different or some other way altogether.

I actually wanted to use ddns3-client but somehow tht is not being installed in fiesty. It is some error.

Just as an off-hand decided to see /var/log/messages. I see some messages at /var/log/messages :-
Apr 2 19:39:07 ubuntu INADYN[10021]: INADYN: Started 'INADYN version 1.96' - dynamic DNS updater.
Apr 2 19:39:08 ubuntu INADYN[10021]: I:INADYN: IP address for alias 'https://updates.opendns.com/account/ddns.php?' needs update to ' my current ip address´
Apr 2 19:39:09 ubuntu INADYN[10021]: W:INADYN: Error validating DYNDNS svr answer. Check usr,pass,hostname!

This means atleast inadyn is running, its not just validating, can this be opendns issue?

somebody please help

the one which is there is .src file no binaries :(

If somebody has made a ubuntu .deb file please lemme know. Thank you for your guidance. Cheers !
