In the e-smith manager on the console it does not have the choice for
dyndns.org just "do not use" "yi.org" "dyndns.com" and "Custom technical
support required"....
When I use custom it comes up with a server erro when it is trying to
save...

As it happens I discovered two problems with the dyndns.org script on the
weekend. Firstly, it does not have execute permission. To fix this, do:
chmod +x /sbin/e-smith/dynamic-dns/dyndns.org
A shell syntax error has also snuck in along the way. Remove the backtick
character - ` - from the end of line 19.
Please correct those errors and configure the system to enable this
feature via the console, then let me know whether the system succeeds in
keeping dyndns.org up to date.
Please send me your python script as well - I'll see how it compares with
the existing script.
