Your config file is whacked. Strip out the junk you don't need (make a backup copy first). I use DynDns.org and my stripped down config file looks like this: ------------------------- daemon=300 # check every 300 seconds syslog=yes # log update msgs to syslog mail=my_id # mail update msgs to root pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid # record PID in file. login=my_dyn_dns_username # default login password=my_passwd # default password mx=ns2.mybackupdomain.com # default MX backupmx=yes # host is primary MX? wildcard=yes # add wildcard CNAME? server=members.dyndns.org, \ protocol=dyndns2, \ my_dynamic_host_name.nu ------------------------- Note the two backslashes at the end, which just makes for easy reading but the server= option has 3 fields passed to it. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Scary Gerry -- Senior Systems Manager freymann@scaryg.shacknet.nu -For web-hosting, DNS Services or PHP & MySql programming see www.interpool.ca -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
