end of emerge -va ddclient * The files in /etc/ddclient *NEED* be chowned to * root:ddclient, and chmodded to 640: * (user/group read; user write) * Please run etc-update and update your initscript to take * advantage of non-root permissions on the daemon * Further, please note that your config files must be owned * by the user ddclient or have group ownership by ddclient. * The initscript will NOT run unless you do this. Please see * bug #88225 * in practice ... I just edited the conf file, and started daemon, no problem: work at once, no need to chmod/chows any thing. That warning has become useless ... please remoive it from ebuild.
