Using inadym instead of ez-ipupdate

04-22-2007, 07:08 PM

I have just installed inadym. The documentation and debug information is quite
cryptic, and I am not sure whether it is working.

I have created a configuration file /etc/inadym.conf as follows:

# This file was created from scratch by Mark Hobley

username foobar
password foobar
alias myhost.yi.org
dyndns_server_name gnudip2.yi.org
iterations 1
verbose 5

I then invoke inadym as follows:

# inadym

(Login names and hashes have been changed)

I guess from the following line means that the update has not worked:

W:INADYN: Error validating DYNDNS svr answer. Check usr,pass,hostname!

Is the program using the wrong protocol?

I think it should be using gnudip2 protocol. How do I switch to this?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

IMHO, if you want to make your life easy, use some certified and, or
recommended client by DynDNS people.

I prefer *dynip.sh* for updates, stunq to check mapped and, or external
ip.add.re.ss and dig @some.ns my.host.domain to compare.
