Hi Bernt,
Thank you for your prompt response. There was an original inadyn.conf in my system file which looks like.
#Output messages to this file
logfile /var/log/inadyn/inadyn.log
#Or use the system syslog mechanism for log messages
#syslog
#The log debug level, which is an integer between 0 to 5
verbose 1
#How often the IP is checked. The value denotes seconds
period 300
#Set interface to bind to
#bind eth3
#Set interface to check for IP
#iface eth1
# Full path to external command, or script, to run after a successful DDNS update
#exec /usr/local/bin/script.sh
# Please edit following options before starting daemon
#Service provider
#Please see inadyn(8) for a complete list of providers
system
#Your username
username
#Your password
password
#Your hostname.
This option can appear multiple times
alias
I copied the original file to a new location and edited /etc/inadyn.conf to reflect only fields as mentioned in the tutorial.
Once with the -- in front and once without. Irrespective of the presence of that character, when I
run the next step:
more /var/log/messages | grep INADYN
I get an error message stating that
/var/log/messages: No such file or directory
Am I doing something wrong? My current inadyn.conf looks like this:
# Your username
--username <>
# Your password
--password <>
# Your hostname. This option can appear multiple times
--alias xxxx.ddns.net
--dyndns_system default@no-ip.com
--background
--update_period_sec 600
--syslog
Look forward to your help. Thanks again, Parth
