It's okay to use it. Manipulating the directory seems to be something I would want to verify with the application itself first. If it is a Perl script, then it might be easy to find out why.
Looking at the error messages and the script itself the problem occurs within the Perl module IO::Socket::SSL. Looks like if a call to new does not work then ddclient raises the message. A quick search led me to http://search.cpan.org/~sullr/IO-Socket-SSL-2.049/lib/IO/Socket/SSL.pod <http://search.cpan.org/%7Esullr/IO-Socket-SSL-2.049/lib/IO/Socket/SSL.pod> and a little way down there is a good description of "Essential Information About SSL/TLS". Seems to me that the module is acting as expected and I cannot see that ddclient is doing anything else that might be suspect.
So I will add the privilege and try to force ddclient to update to see what happens.
Best, Robert
