Re: [leaf-user] Required EZ-IPUpdate Client Upgrade Notice

[Greg Morgan]

I suppose there's some more good news on this topic?  I had sent a 
followup email to dyndns thanking them for their help with confirming 
Jacques' package.  Vivian sent the response below. It is not critical 
that this change be made right away.  For one thing, some analysis will 
have to be done to see if the change would cause problems with other 
services that ez-ipupdate supports.  Moreover, it requires registration 
and other overhead that may not add much value to the change. I wonder 
then, if a person would also have to register the ez-ipupdate client 
modification with all the other services that ez-ipupdate supports?

"Thanks. One little thing: if you haven't (I didn't make this clear), 
can you ask Jacques to change the user agent to something unique 
(http://www.dyndns.org/developers/ has some guidelines he should look 
at) that identifies the leaf project so we don't run into this situation 
again next time someone abuses the ez-ipupdate user agent? If he has any 
questions about this, tell him to email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put 
"Attn: Vivien M." in the subject line so I look at it."

Hi greg,

thanks for your aleartness,

I'm using dnydns and ez-ipupdate for a few years now, and the service is so darn good, i never had problems, i don't even take note of their website, after seeing your e-mail, i trance over to their website, and saw the whole big confusion what's happening overthere with the linksys equipment,

I immediately, download the new version, so me and my 20 clients are all happy now, else what would have been a bachanal in the next few days, when they had shut us out.

Jacques, once again, thanks for your prompt reply, u have never failed me/us when a new update of a product is needed in .lrp format.

Jacques,

Problem solved. I received confirmation from dyndns.org tech support 
that your package update is working as intended.  They also went on to 
say, "... the version of ez-ipupdate you're using now identifies itself 
differently from the Linksys version, so you should not have any 
problems.  Note that your account was never "dirty" or anything like 
that: the fact that you got this email is simply the result of people 
embedding clients into things (Linksys, as we discovered the hard way, 
is not the only company to have done this) and not changing how these 
clients identify themselves, so we simply have no way to tell the 
problematic Linksys client apart from other, most likely perfectly 
acceptable, configurations of ez-ipupdate."

Thanks again,
Greg Morgan
