ez-ipupdate package for floppyfw

To update the dyndns-database at boot time (and whenever the IP address changed) I created a little package based on ez-ipupdate, version 3.0.11b8. This package will work with a lot of other dynamic ip-services as well.

• ez-ipupdate.bz2 Compiled for floppyfw 2.9.8., reported to work with 2.9.13 - Thanks to Per Nystrom who sent me that package!
• ez-ipupdate.bz2 This was for floppyfw 2.0.4 but is reported to work with 2.9.5

• post-ez-ipdupdate.ini

Put both files in /packages and edit post-ez-ipdupdate.ini

Thanks to Brian Hall, who informed me of the fact that dyndns is changing its configuration with the result that the ez-ipupdate version 3.0.11b7 will not work after December 8th, 2003! Version 3.0.11b8 will not be impacted. (read the dyndns.org press release)

Anyway, the packages seems not to be maintained recently. As long as there is a maintainer for debian, I suppose it will be checked for security holes.
