Hi Oliver,
on my OpenBSD Firewall I have simple shell script running, that takes
care of the ip-address update for dyndns.org. This works as dyndns.org
aloows updates via http.
I fetched the script below from some howto or mailinglists, but I can't
remember where :/
#!/bin/sh
LOG=/var/log/update_dyndns.log
DYNIP=`ifconfig pppoe0 | grep 'inet ' | awk '{print $2}'`
echo "`date` : Update dyndns.org: ${DYNIP}" >> ${LOG}
/usr/bin/lynx -dump -auth=${1}:${2}
"http://members.dyndns.org/nic/update?system
=dyndns&hostname=${3}&myip=${DYNIP}" >> ${LOG}
#EOF
All you need is to run the script and pass username, password and
domain as parameters. This runs beautiful! I was in the very same
situation as you. The perl solution wasn't what I was searching for and
some Python scripts seemed to be overkill for a small embedded
firewall like mine. So I went using this approach. Lynx also is
available in base on OpenBSD.
Hope this may help you :)
