ddclient for DynDns on RN300 - Working
It took me a while to get ddclient to work on my ReadyNAS RN300 series, but eventually, redstamp user provided the key hint I needed. Note: I will be publishing this same post with more details a...
Did you have trouble getting the ReadyNAS ddclient app by Poussin working? It's old, but still works fine for me.
Hi, Sandshark!
Indeed, I could not get Poussin's DDclient 1.0 to work today until after a few hours of research and trial and error. This was with the ReadyNAS RN314 and OS6 6.10.6.
I've written a full article (with screenshots) detailing the steps here: Netgear ReadyNAS: DDclient Configuration for Dynamic DNS (DynDNS, No-IP) - YuenX.
Hope this helps others!
Oh, I remember now that I had to do this, then the configuration in the ddconf share works:
Create (or add to if it exists) /etc/frontview/samba/addons/addons.conf
With the following:
[global] allow insecure wide links = yes unix extensions = no [ddclient] follow symlinks = yes wide links = yes
Those used to be the defaults, but changed in an update to SMB some time back. I forget which OS version included that update.
Obviously, there's another way, which you have detailed. Since both need SSH, I don't think there's a preference as to which is used.
Thanks for sharing! Good to know that /data/ddclient/ddclient.conf could still work if making the extra changes you listed.
