Package: ddclient Version: 3.6.7-2 Severity: normal
Due to a botched line in my /etc/udev/rules.d/010_local.rules file that caused my ethernet interface not to get renamed as expected, I ran into a small bug in ddclient. Apparently, ddclient looks up the IP address of the update host only at package startup time, and as a result of my earlier problem, this failed, leading to the following entries in /var/log/daemon. May 23 20:04:35 wallace ddclient[4403]: WARNING: cannot connect to checkip.dyndns.org:80 socket: IO::Socket::INET: Bad hostname 'checkip.dyndns.org' May 23 20:09:35 wallace ddclient[4403]: WARNING: cannot connect to checkip.dyndns.org:80 socket: IO::Socket::INET: Bad hostname 'checkip.dyndns.org' May 23 20:14:35 wallace ddclient[4403]: WARNING: cannot connect to checkip.dyndns.org:80 socket: IO::Socket::INET: Bad hostname 'checkip.dyndns.org' When I discovered and fixed the problem with my udev rule and got my 'forcedeth' interface working correctly, I continued to get the warnings from ddclient: May 23 20:18:53 wallace avahi-daemon[4348]: New relevant interface forcedeth.IPv4 for mDNS.

Issuing "/etc/init.d/ddclient restart" cleared the problem up immediately: May 23 20:29:54 wallace ddclient[4403]: WARNING: caught SIGTERM; exiting May 23 20:29:58 wallace ddclient[7932]: SUCCESS: updating hostname.dnsalias.org: good: IP address set to aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-amd64-k8-smp Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages ddclient depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.0 Debian configuration management sy ii perl [perl5] 5.8.8-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ddclient recommends no packages. -- debconf information: * ddclient/run_daemon: true * ddclient/interface: web * ddclient/protocol: dyndns2 * ddclient/run_ipup: false ddclient/newconfigfmt: ddclient/modifiedconfig: * ddclient/server: members.dyndns.org * ddclient/daemon_interval: 300 * ddclient/service: www.dyndns.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
