ITP: ddclient (dyndns.org IP address updater)

[Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>]

ddclient is used to update your (dynamic) IP address at dyndns.org.

Questions:

1. Section net or admin?

2. The program can use a config file to store the hostname and
dyndns.org username and password. This is convenient if one is running
it automatically (when dhcpcd gets a new ip, for example). I've modified
ddclient to only use the config file if it is unreadable by group and
other. Is this sufficient? Any better ideas? (the admin can, of course,
just run it by hand and specify the user/pwd on teh command line, there
is no requirement that the configuration file be used.)


Here's the control file:

Maintainer: Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>
Standards-Version: 3.1.1

Package: ddclient
Architecture: all
Depends: perl5, debconf
Description: Update dynamic IP address at DynDNS.org
 
 A perl based client to update your dynamic IP address at DynDNS.org,
 thus allowing you and others to use a fixed hostname (myhost.dyndns.org)
 to access your machine. This client supports both the dynamic and
 (near) static services, MX setting, and alternative host. It caches the
 address, and only attempts the update if the address actually changes.

 For more information on DynDNS.org, see http://www.dyndns.org/.
