net-dns/ddclient-3.6.3 starts before named service and fail to resolve IP address: Apr 14 22:44:30 titan ddclient[7824]: WARNING: cannot connect to ipdetect.dnspark.com:80 socket: IO::Socket::INET: Bad hostname 'ipdetect.dnspark.com' that could be solved by adding 'dns' in depend-list in /etc/init.d/ddclient: depend() { need net dns }
It should be "use dns", because not everyone will be running a dns server. This is fixed in ddclient-3.7.0: /usr/portage/net-dns/ddclient/files/ddclient.initd ddclient-3.7.0 stability: bug #170708
'use' or 'after' ?
The documentation ( http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=4 ) is confusing, but "use" seems better: $ grep use /etc/init.d/* | grep dns | wc -l 7 $ grep after /etc/init.d/* | grep dns | wc -l 1
Nebojsa, does 3.7.0 work Ok for you?
no, 3.7.0 doesn't work :( /etc/init.d/ddclient start * Starting DDClient ... WARNING: file /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf: Cannot open file '/etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf'.

changing permissions solved the problem. I had old /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf file with wrong permissions. guess that 3.7.0(-r1) ebuild should change those permissions even if file already exists, just in case of an upgrade and not the clean install. 3.7.0 gives me the same error message, but at least ddclient stays started so it can update dynamic dns record a little bit latter: Apr 15 14:19:34 titan ddclient[7758]: WARNING: cannot connect to ipdetect.dnspark.com:80 socket: IO::Socket::INET: Bad hostname 'ipdetect.dnspark.com' titan ~ # /etc/init.d/iptables status * status: started titan ~ # changing to depend() { before cron need net use logger after dns } didn't helped, but I think it's not so big deal tu update 300 seconds later.
please test with the latest version, 3.7.3
