Package: ddclient Version: 3.8.0-7 Severity: important Hi,
When ddclient is unable to contact my firewall to obtain an IP address, it doesn't timeout and it just sits there waiting for a response that never comes. Its status as reported by ps is permanently "ddclient - read from home port 80" until it is restarted. It should timeout and try again. The "timeout" setting appears to have no affect. As my firewall is apparently often uncontactable when it is reconnecting or renegotiating its IP address this means that ddclient usually fails to pick up changes of address, which "has a major effect on the usability of a package" for me.
