Re: [MLUG] strange request

[Daniel Nowlin <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Here it is.  I included an installer (bash script) that is based on RH 
distro.  The only requirement is that the mydyn.conf file be in 
/etc/mydyn directory.  The cache file will be created if one does not 
exist.  I also included an init.d file.  This program runs as a daemon 
but if you just want to do a test then you can setup the .conf file and 
run the program with a -t option.  This will only connect to your 
router, parse out the IP and dump it to the screen.  If you run it as  a 
service then it will update your account on dyndns if/when your ip 
changes.  It also has a 28 day force update so your account with dyndns 
does not expire.  The program also will not allow any private or invalid 
IP to be sent (0., 10., 169.254, 172.17-172.31, 192.168).  I wrote this 
because the client I had been using (ddclient) did not have a logout 
feature which my router required or no one else could administer the 
router.  After a year of waiting for the feature to be added to ddclient 
I just researched and rolled my own.  The program uses the following 
modules:

LWP::UserAgent;
URI;
Sys::Syslog qw( :DEFAULT setlogsock);
Net::SMTP;
Time::Local;

Right now I am beta testing it with a live test account and everything 
has been working fine for about 2 weeks now.  Let me know if you have 
any problems/suggestions but do remember that I just tinker in perl, I 
by no means have mastered it.
