Either keep the old rc.local fragment or use the new rc.d(8) method by
adding this to rc.conf.local:

pkg_scripts=ddclient

To set flags you can do:

ddclient_flags=-file /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf

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.

Try:

pkg_scripts="ddclient"
