I've got ddclient installed on a FreeBSD 4.6 Stable system on my home gateway. The installation appeared to go well (eventually) and I now have ddclient running in daemon mode: # ps PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND 39163 p0 S 0:00.11 _su (csh) 39307 p0 R+ 0:00.00 ps 214 v0 Is 0:00.03 login -p <snip> 215 v1 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv1 216 v2 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv2 217 v3 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv3 218 v4 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv4 219 v5 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv5 220 v6 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv6 221 v7 Is+ 0:00.01 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv7 201 con- I+ 0:16.67 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/local/sbin/ddclient -daemon 300 #=20 However, I've noticed regular postings of the following warning messages in /var/log/messages: ~ $ tail /var/log/messages Jul 16 16:22:52 Demon ddclient[201]: WARNING: cannot connect to checkip.dyndns.org:80 socket: IO::Socket::INET: Bad hostname 'checkip.dyndns.org'=20 I also get regular mail from ddclient with the same message sent to root as well.
