I had use=if, if=eth0 eth0 is the default (on this line) in "new" ddclient from f8 and it should ppp0, for I have an ADSL connection. I changed it to ppp0 and it is working now. Questions: 1- ddclient is running as ddclient, group ddclient; so I have this message in the logs: WARNING: Cannot create file '/var/run/ddclient.pid'. (Permission non accordée) How can I change the ownership of the process from "ddclient" to "root"? 2- Mikkel has suggested to have a look at /etc/sysconfig/ddclient, but the only config in this file is: DDCLIENT_OPTIONS="-daemon 300" So it has no influence on the process, except the time interval to check the ip. My question is: why are there two config files: one in /etc, one in /etc/sysconfig?
