Standard on Linux is that root can read any file on the local file system. Unfortunately, to get OpenDNS to update via ddclient, you have to know the username and password of the account that needs updating. Is it possible to connect a password to ddclient.conf or better yet require entry of the password in the file before it can be opened? Basically, what I am interested in is password protecting a single file and requiring that even the super user enter that password to access it, unless the super user wants to delete it. This way, in a sense, there can be more than one superuser and it becomes possible to delegate maintenance of OpenDNS for example to someone else.
Frankly, I think it is stupid that you can't ask the OpenDNS servers to update an account without logging in to that account, hint hint. OpenDNS should be asking for the host name assigned to ones dynamic ip address instead of the current ip anyways. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
