# Simple DynDNS Host update script
# (C) by Paul C. Buetow 2006, 2014
# Mail: paul at buetow dot org
-# WWW : http://paul.buetow.org
-#
-# You need a running BIND on a server box with root access.
-# You also need a new zone for your dyndns host.
-#
-# 1) Add new user dyndns to your DNS server box.
-# 2) Read the nsupdate manpage at find out how to use it.
-# Create a nsupdate key called your-host-name if your host
-# is your.host.name.
-# 3) Copy the nsupdate key files of your host to ~dyndns and
-# chown them to the dyndns user.
-# 4) Also read the ssh manpage because you need to gerenate
-# a RSA Public Key if you want to update a dyndns host via
-# SSH without an interactive password prompt.
-# 5) Create an empty /var/log/lastnsupdate.log file and chown
-# it to the user dyndns.
-#
-# Further explanation:
-#
-# Call this script from a DynDNS-client box:
-# Syntax:
-# ssh dyndns@dyndnsserver /path/to/dyndns-update \
-# your.host.name. TYPE new-entry TIMEOUT
-# An real example:
-# ssh dyndns@dyndnsserver /path/to/dyndns-update \
-# local.buetow.org. A 137.226.50.91 30
-#
-# Because its a dyndns host, we set the timeout to very low
-# 30 seconds.
-#
-# If you use ppp on your client box, then you may add the
-# following lines to your /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup file:
-#
-# ! sh -c "echo \"MYADDR `date`\" >> /var/log/ips.log"
-# !bg /usr/bin/ssh dyndns@dyndnsserver \
-# /path/to/update-dyndns your.host.name. A MYADDR 30
-#
-# Here you need to generate a SSH RSA public key to allow root
-# to ssh into dyndns@dyndnsserver without a password. Ask
-# google or read the manpage and try it out! RTFM!
-#
-# your.host.name's A record should be changed to the dyndns
-# client's new ip address each time the internet protocol
-# number changes.
-# You may use the tools nslookup and dig to check if its working.
-#
-# Thanks to Lars Engels for some nice ideas concerning
-# ppp.linkup and nsupdate! :).
