Description brho 2014-01-28 07:09:49 UTC 
ddclient complains when starting via /etc/init.d/ddclient start.  The output is:

find: invalid mode '+0044'
 * Starting ddclient ...  

ddclient is actually running, so that is not a problem.

The problem is the init.d script that calls find with "-perm +0044", which is deprecated.  My version of find (4.5.12) doesn't allow this, and recommends using "-perm /0044".

Changing +0044 to /0044 in the init.d/ddclient script allows the script to check for permissions on ddclient.conf properly.  Without this change, the check silently fails.

Reproducible: Always
