-== Introduction == 
-I tried other HOWTO's on DDNS and found they are not working with ods.org. So, I started looking around and found updatedd and its working great with ods.org services. I decided to write down this alternate method of doing DDNS with DD-WRT. The instructions below is targeted mainly for ods.org DDNS updates, it should be similar for other service types. 
-Updatedd supports the following services: 
- changeip.com 
- dyndns.org 
- eurodyndns.org 
- ovh.com 
- no-ip.org 
- ods.org 
- hn.org 
- regfish.com 
- tzo.com 
- 
-Please visit Updatedd website for more information on updatedd: http://www.philipp-benner.de/updatedd/ 
- 
-== Prerequisites == 
- 
-* This howto requires [http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Optware Optware] installed 
-* Updatedd's wrapper is written in Perl, so please install Perl if it is not already installed: 
- ipkg-opt install perl 
- 
- 
-== Installation == 
- 
-Install updatedd with: 
- ipkg-opt install updatedd 
- 
-You will need to modify the software to work with Optware running under /opt directory: 
- vi /opt/bin/updatedd-wrapper 
- 
-Change the first line to look like: 
- #!/opt/bin/perl -w 
- 
-You will also need to change this file: (This file is mainly for ods.org service, please see below for others) 
- vi /opt/share/updatedd/interface.pl 
- 
-Also change the first line to: 
- #!/opt/bin/perl -w 
- 
-For other services, please change the following file accordingly with the same first line change: 
- vi /opt/share/updatedd/ipserv.pl 
-  
-Change the first line to: 
- #!/opt/bin/perl -w 
- 
-== Configuration == 
- 
-Updatedd configuration file is located here: /opt/etc/updatedd-wrapper.conf 
- 
-Please edit with vi or your favorite editor: 
- 
- vi /opt/etc/updatedd-wrapper.conf 
-  
-Under "login" section, please change the username/password for your services: 
- 
- login { 
- changeip_1 = "user:pass"; 
- dyndns_1 = "user:pass"; 
- eurodyndns_1 = "user:pass"; 
- hn_1 = "user:pass"; 
- noip_1 = "user:pass"; 
- ods_1 = "MY_USERNAME:MY_PASSWORD"; 
- ovh_1 = "user:pass"; 
- regfish_1 = "TOKEN=token"; 
- regfish_2 = "STD=user:pass"; 
- tzo_1 = "user:pass"; 
- }; 
- 
-Please scroll down and configure each of the services that you would like to do DDNS update with. Here is an example of ODS configuration: 
- 
- ods(active) { 
- login = ods_1; 
- hostnames = "host1.ods.org host2.ods.org"; 
- ip-addr = ipv4:`/opt/share/updatedd/interface.pl ppp0`; 
- use-syslog = yes; 
- # force; 
- } 
- 
-When you are done with the configuration file, please save and exit with ":wq" if you are using vi. 
- 
-== Execute and Cron == 
- 
-Test your configuration with: 
- updatedd-wrapper 
- 
-If you want to periodically updates DDNS, you will need to edit crontab: 
- vi /opt/etc/crontab 
- 
-Add the following lines: 
- # ods.org update - Every 2 minutes 
- */2 * * * * root /opt/bin/updatedd-wrapper 
- 
-The example setup above executes updatedd-wrapper for every 2 minutes.
