Package: inadyn
Version: 1.96.2-1
Severity: wishlist

inadyn is unnecessarily hard to use: I have to read a man page (plus a
bug report that points out an error in the man page!) and then I have
to read another bug report to work out an easy way to make inadyn
start on system boot.

By contrast, ddclient prompts for login details at install time, and
then automatically starts the daemon if asked to do so. (It also
allows the daemon to be started by making a ppp connection.)

I suggest that you see if you can re-use ddclient's scripts for
inadyn.

(In case you're wondering why I'm using inadyn if ddclient is so
great, the answer is that the packaged version of ddclient doesn't yet
support freedns (afraid.org). However, given how hard inadyn is to set
up, I'm tempted simply to install the ddclient package and update the
main script.)
