Thanks :-) vi worked, and it's installing ddclient now! Learning as we go :-)

That was good news. Glad it worked!

WhoCares just updated DDClient Sparc to 3.8.2:
viewtopic.php?p=419078#p419078

Release notes:
http://sourceforge.net/p/ddclient/news/ ... -released/

Looking back at a few threads I've posted in in case they need updates.

If anyone is still looking for this add-on, it's at https://rnxtras.com/addons/ddclient-readynas-4-x86.

I also found out what the "skip=" is all about in the configuration. If the site you are using to determine your IP address returns anything other than just the address, it's used to tell DDClient what to skip to get to the address. The one in my example (second one that works) does return just the address, so the "skip=" is not necessary.

Update. Now my ddclient.conf looks like this:

daemon=600
syslog=yes
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
ssl=yes

## ChangeIP
protocol=changeip,                                        \
use=web, web=ip.changeip.com,                             \
server=nic.changeip.com,                                  \
login=yourlogin,                                          \
password='yourpass'                                       \
yoursubdomain.domain.org

If you need ddclient on OS X, install homebrew. And then install ddclient with brew install ddclient.
