I see two differences between yours and mine. Mine has no comments after the first actual parameter, and a space and a slash (\) after each line thereafter. This suggests that the program expects to read in one line for appending to the command line. If you run "ddclient --help" you will get some help and some examples. e.g. (with obvious redaction: root@issola:/etc# cat ddclient.conf # Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf # # /etc/ddclient.conf # entries above the blank line provided by c^2 from the freeman # configuration. mail=root \ mail-failure=root \ ssl=yes \ \ protocol=dyndns2 \ use=web, web=ipify-ipv4 \ server=example.com \ login=ccurley \ password='Hah, hah, hah!' \ example.org root@issola:/etc# -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
