Not sure on the ownership part, but what might help is in your config try /var/run/ddclient/ddclient.pid as you left out the ddclient sub-folder and that might let it get created? I guess you could just go to /var/run and do below if that will help.. If there is no .pid file, create one and leave it empty first? then try below... chown ddclient.ddclient ddclient.pid -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "The best lil town on Earth!"
