Yes, it's not wrong enough that it'll trip people up, but it's a
separable verb: "log in to". (The third option I occasionally see
people use is "log into", but I prefer the three-word version.)

Also, it's a username (like "ajm") rather than a user('s) name.

No problems here.

Should be lowercase.

There's no such thing as a software (and besides, if it comes in
a Debian package, we already know it's software!), so just say
"this is a client".
Two missing articles: "as a daemon", "a free dynamic DNS service".

The same "software" problem and some unnecessary repetition:
On install, this client lets you configure your credentials and
hostname(s), which must be registered at the dy.fi website beforehand.
