ddclient won't auto run on OpenBSD 5.8
Recently updated a router from 5.2 to 5.8. I had a working ddclient process connected to and fully working with DynDNS. Trying to use same config, may have to tweak just a bit. My main issue right now is trying to get the ddclient process to run upon booting. In 5.2, I had the following script in rc.local if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/ddclient ] ; then echo -n ' ddclient' /usr/local/sbin/ddclient -file /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf fi This ran ddclient upon startup. I've tried the same thing in rc.conf.local with no joy, it won't start. I also commented that out and tried ddclient = "" and also ddclient = "-file /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf" Upon every reboot ddclient is not running per a 'ps aux |grep dd' command. Not is there a pid file in /var/run ddclient will start manually. Looking for some guidance on getting this running please.
