[SOLVED] ddclient in Mageia 4

[SOLVED] ddclient in Mageia 4

Postby leif » Feb 11th, '14, 22:52

I have a dynamically assigned IP address and a domain name at DynDNS that has to be updated. I have used ddclient for this purpose the last 8 years without problems, until now. In Mageia 4, ddclient cannot be started as a service any longer. Does it work for anyone else?

Any error message or any more details WHY it cannot be started as service any longer?

Nevermind, I solved it myself. The problem was that /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf was readable only to root. This was not a problem in Mageia 3 but obviously in Mageia 4.
