Hello,
I've been using ddclient for a while now, but the most recent update is
quite annoying: it spews error messages everywhere. If run from cron, in
particular, this results in a near-endless amount of useless mail being
sent. This is documented at
https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4167772, and fixed by
http://ddclient.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ddclient/trunk/svn/ddclient?r1=43&view=log.
Note that the errors are sent in non-debug mode as well as in debug
mode.
The attached diff incorporates the above fix, thus solving the issue. I
sent this diff to the maintainer first, who asked me to try to get it
committed.
Joachim
