My account has been blocked (twice) for abuse since updating from opensuse 11.4 to 12.1 about 18hrs ago. I haven't yet enabled logging or investigated further, except to verify that the cache file is (still) being written properly. I'm just posting here in case someone else has encountered the problem; I'll post back if/when the problem is resolved. The /etc/ddclient.conf file survived the update unchanged (according to the mtime on the file.) Dyn updates had been working fine for many months through several iterations of opensuse. I didn't look at the version on 11.4, but 12.1 has ddclient 3.8.0. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Sanitized cache file: atime=1322489181,backupmx=0,custom=0,host=abcd.dyndns.org,ip=1.1.1.1,mtime=1318802416,mx=,static=0,status=noconnect,warned-min-error-interval=0,warned-min-interval=0,wildcard=1,wtime=0 http://abcd.dyndns.orgSanitized conf file (this is the dyn entry only, there is one other entry): |

What's in the log file (probably syslog)?
I'd suggest you remove that so you get some logging.
It takes quite a few before it's permanent. However, you can run it in debug/test mode, rather than daemon mode, to find out if it'll update. The only possible problem I see is: Now, assuming it really has been 25 days, there shouldn't be a problem. There's nothing in that snippet about abusive updates, nothing in your trimmed config file to show obvious problems. Otherwise: Suggests a possible problem with connectivity, but if it doesn't happen often then it shouldn't matter. Ah, the error:
Suggests you need to stop ddclient, remove the cache file and then start ddclient. It will send an update, but hopefully that will be the end of it. |

That's the only bad thing I can see. As Cry Havok said already, it seems to be an internet connection problem of any kind. If this happens again, try to visit http://members.dyndns.org/ - you should see just "404". |

Thanks for moving my post! Opensuse has "nosyslog" set in /etc/sysconfig/ddclient by default, so all you see is ddclient starting up. I don't know how "abusive" I can be before I get turned off permanently, so I'm hesitant to change that value and restart, now that I've been blocked twice. Does anybody know how many times you can be blocked and still request the block be removed??? |

I left the block in place, and restarted with logging, so it failed, but produced lots of output. Here is the part related to dyndns specifically: |

Just an update. I haven't had a lot of time to work on this, but I installed ddclient on my ubuntu laptop, and it successfully updated dyn. However, that was with its own config file (but basically the same as far as I can tell.) Ubuntu does, however, complain as follows: When I have time I'll try the config from opensuse on ubuntu, but it's starting to look like something broke as a result of the update. |
