I have big Trouble with ddclient. It can't start normal.

I have it reindstalled, but the same.

#/etc/init.d/ddclient start
* Starting ddclient...            [ ok ]

# /etc/init.d/ddclient status
* status: crashed

# /etc/init.d/ddclient start
* WARNING: ddclient has already been started

# /etc/init.d/ddclient stop
* Stopping ddclient...
* start-stop-daemon: no matching processes found

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Allways fail on start

Expected Results:  
Clean start, and update DynDns Adress

I can't tell whether that's an openrc problem...

[Comment 2 Dion Moult (RETIRED) 2009-11-30 14:04:56 UTC]

I would like to confirm this as well on AMD64. I updated to baselayout 2(.0.1) and therefore also switched to openrc (0.5.2-r2) and since then my ddclient experiences the same behavior (also 3.7.3-r1).

[Comment 3 Aaron W. Swenson 2011-08-12 12:33:42 UTC]

This works for me. The real issue may have been resolved as a matter of course.
