<p><b>INADYN Help<br>
</b></p>
<p>INADYN is a dynamic DNS client. That is, it maintains the IP address
of a host name. It
periodically checks whether the IP address stored by the DNS server is
the real current address
of the machine that is running INADYN.<br>

<p><b>Features:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>supports the following dynamic DNS services:</li>
<li><a href=http://www.dyndns.org>dyndns.org</a> (in all three flavors: dynamic, static, custom)</li>
<li><a href=http://freedns.afraid.org>freedns.afraid.org</a></li>
<li><a href=http://www.zoneedit.com>zoneedit.com</a></li>
<li><a href=http://www.no-ip.com>no-ip.com</a></li>
<li>maintains up multiple aliases of the same IP address</li>
<li>runs as a service (Windows 2000/XP, Linux)</li>
<li>or runs as a console application</li>
<li>updates the correct IP address even behind a NAT router.</li>
<li>supports access via http proxy</li>
<li>does not perform unnecessary updates.</li>
<li>has 'install and forget it feature'. That is, after install one
can completely forget about
it. No maintenance required. (as long as no bugs are found;-)</li>
</ul>
<b>Installation</b><br>
<b> For Windows:</b><br>
<ol>
<li>IF you are planning to let inadyn <span
style="font-weight: bold;">run as a service</span>. For installation
you need <span style="font-weight: bold;">Administrator rights</span>
and
you need to launch the utility batch: <span style="font-style: italic;">install_inadyn_service.bat</span>
from the same directory where <span style="font-style: italic;">inadyn.exe</span>
is located.
This will allow a standard console application like <span
style="font-style: italic;">inadyn</span> to run as a service. The
programs <span style="font-style: italic;">intsrv.exe, srvany.exe</span>
are standard programs that can be also found on Windows 2000 res
Kit
CD. <br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Note</span>: Since
re-distributing the above mentioned programs seems to be illegal, they
are <span style="font-weight: bold;">not</span>
provided in the <span style="font-style: italic;">inadyn </span>package.
These programs have to be downloaded (if don't already have them) and
copied in the <span style="font-style: italic;">inadyn/bin/win32 </span>directory.<span
style="font-weight: bold;"> A</span>fter a bit of
googling I found some links where one can download them:<br>
<a
href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&displaylang=en">Download
the whole Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools from Microsoft</a> or
the following alternate sites<br>
<a href="http://www.electrasoft.com/srvany/srvany.htm">http://www.electrasoft.com/srvany/srvany.htm</a><br>
<a
href="ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/reskit/nt40/i386/srvany_x86.exe">ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/reskit/nt40/i386/srvany_x86.exe</a>
<br>
</li>
<li>Edit the registry file with the <span style="font-weight: bold;">correct
name for your service </span>(e.g. 'configure_inadyn_service_<span
style="font-weight: bold;">dyndns</span>.reg') in order to pass your
username,
password, aliases, and other params to inadyn. After you have finished
double click on the reg
file.
<p>Notes:</p>
<ul>
<li>The correct path to inadyn binary has to be entered in the
config file.</li>
<li>The log file is located in %System%\system32 by default</li>
<li>Beware of the double backslashes '\\' and the correct paths!<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>After you have finished double click on the reg file.</p>
</li>
<li>Go to ControlPanel/AdministrativeTools/Services/inadyn and START
the service. Also make
sure that the startup mode is 'automatic'.</li>
</ol>
For Linux:<br>
</b>
<ol>
<li><b><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span
style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span></b><b><span
style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span
style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span> </span></b>No
installation necessary. The inadyn executable found in <span
style="font-style: italic;">bin/linux/inadyn</span> is self contained
and can be launched at any time<br>
</li>
</ol>
<b> For MAC </b> (thanks to Rob.S) <br>
<ol><li>
Put the binary somewhere in path (e.g. ~/bin), <br>
Start it with the following AppleScript saved as an Application and dragged to <br>
System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login Items:<br>
<p> do shell script "~/bin/inadyn -a HOST.dyndns.org -u USER -p PASSWORD"</p><br>
Alternatively, one can put it in the system startup scripts. </p>
</li>
</ol>
<br>
<b> For other operating systems:<br>
</b>
<ol>
<li><b><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span
style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span></b><b><span
style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span
style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span> </span></b>Adjust the
makefile - change the architecture to yours. (e.g. solaris)</li>
<li> Recompile - make clean all<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p><b>Command line options</b></p>
<p>They are automatically printed if inadyn gets wrong parameters or if
--help option is
used.<br>
</p>
<p><i>Typical usage</i>:</p>

file that is downloaded
from freedns.afraid.org<br>
</p>
<p><i>Parameters</i>:<br>

</p>
'--dyndns_server_name': [<name>[:port]]</name>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">The server that receives the update DNS
request.<br>

</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0pt;">
<b><i>Example usage:</i></b><br>
1. Update every minute, in console mode, for a dyndns.org system. <br>
inadyn --username test --password test --update_period 60000 --alias
test.homeip.net --alias my.second.domain<br>
<br>
2. Update every minute, in demon mode (background task), with log file, of an dyndns.org address: <br>
inadyn --background -u test -p test --update_period 60000 --alias
inarcis.homeip.net --alias my.second.domain --log_file
inadyn_srv.log<br><br>
3. Update every minute, in daemon mode, with configuration read from file of an address from freedns.afraid.org <br>
Config file (can be placed anywhere, but in linux is convenient in default location: /etc/inadyn.conf<br>
Content of cfg file:<br>
--update_period 60000 <br>
--alias test.homeip.net,hash_for_host1 <br>
--log_file /var/log/inadyn.log <br>
--change_persona 10012 #to change to another user id after init. (less rights, more secure)
<br>
Launching of inadyn does not need any params. It looks for /etc/inadyn.config
<br>
<br>
4. Freedns update in console <br>
inadyn --update_period 60000 --alias test.homeip.net,hash_for_host1 -a
my.second.domain,hash2 --dyndns_system default@freedns.afraid.org</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0pt;"> <br><br><br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Configuration file</span><br>
Inadyn can read the very same options which can be present in the
command line from a configuration file. This feature allows the user to
write the options only once, and avoids frequent retyping.<br>
<i>Default configuration file</i> is /etc/inadyn.conf under Unix systems. <br>
The location of the config file can be given ot inadyn via --input_file option <br><br>
<i>The format</i> :<br>
- '#' is a comment sign. <br>
- the long options (those with '--' in front) can also be placed at the
beginning of the line <span style="font-style: italic;">without</span>
'--' signs<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0pt;">Examples:<br>
1.<br>
#Some comment about inadyn cfg file<br>
--username test --password test --update_period 60000 --alias
test.homeip.net --alias my.second.domain<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0pt;">2.<br>
--username test #user<br>
--password test <br>
update_period 60000 #some other param without '--'<br>
alias test.homeip.net <br>
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0pt;"><br>
</p>
<b>LOG Output</b><br>
Inadyn prints some message when the ip is updated. If no update is
needed by default it prints a '.' every time when it performs a name
check. So typically you will see a lot of dots in the log file. (only
if verbose level is greater than 0).<br>
When the connection goes down it is possible that inadyn displays some
errors. But they should
be followed by 'OK' messages after the connection is up again.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Special notes for freedns.afraid.org<br>
</b><br>
They prefer to get as parameter a single hashed (base64 encoded) value
instead username,
password.<br>
This saves some computing resources apparently. The hash cannot be
computed by inadyn because
it involve the database index of your username in freedns database
which is not known.<br>
The simplest solution seems to be the copy-paste action from the
graburl batch file offered on
their website.<br>
<br>
<i>Example</i>: The batch file looks like this:<br>
graburl
http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?YUGIUGSEIUFGOUIHEOIFEOIHJFEIO=<br>
The user has to copy and paste the hash value after the '?' until the
end of line.<br>
The hash will be used as additional param in --alias option. (see
typical usage above)<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Support and Bug reports</b><br>
<br>
Since this is free software the support [for free] is quite thin.
However, the bugs are usually
fixed very fast if they are reported.<br>
No active testing is performed so without user feedback the bugs won't
get discovered and
fixed.<br>
