I don't have to worry about a script that runs in that manor. I simply set up my PPP and ddclient checks the tun0 device for an IP change and updates automatically. Most likely you need to add: disable iface-alias to your ppp.conf file. That way ddclient will see the IP change. You said you can get ddclient to work from the command prompt... will it become a daemon? gf > It has a sample up.ip file, it is called I assume from ppp.linkup after > it establishes a link ? > > the command structure is : > scriptname interface-name tty-device speed local-IP-address > remote-IP-address ipparam > > Ok I take it that : > > scriptname = ppp_ip-up.local > interface-name = tun0 ? > speed = ?? > local-IP-address = ?? > remote-IP-address = ?? > ipparam is not needed > > Any Ideas ?? as I am at a loss, MAN PPPoE is not to helpful :o( > > Regards, > > Kat. > > > > > > _______________________________________________________________________ > _____ /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | K.A.Q.
