This would have caused minimal damage had this not been run as root

on it..What happened next is anybody's guess
Ugh. And people still think I'm crazy for preferring text over telephone...!

tinydyndns-conf
tinydyndns-conf(8) System Manager's Manual tinydyndns-conf(8)
NAME
tinydyndns-conf - sets up a pop-before-dyndns service
SYNOPSIS
tinydyndns-conf acct logacct dir myip mydomain
DESCRIPTION
tinydyndns-conf creates a service directory dir that runs tinydns(8), and a service directory dir/pop that runs a pop3 service and updates
tinydns' database after a successful login.
You can run the services under svscan(8) or runsvdir(8) by creating symbolic links in the /service directory:
ln -s dir /service/dir
ln -s dir/pop /service/dir-pop
The service will start within five seconds, and will be restarted upon reboot. You can use svc(8) to control the service.
tinydyndns-conf runs
tinydns-conf acct logacct dir myip
to set up a DNS publication service.
tinydyndns-conf modifies dir/root/Makefile to not run tinydns-data(8) upon normal request.
tinydyndns-conf arranges for tcpserver(1) to listen on TCP port 110, and to start pop3front-auth(8), cvm-pwfile(8), and after a successful
login tinydyndns-update(8), and pop3front-maildir(8) upon connections.
tinydyndns-conf creates a setpasswd script and a default passwd database in dir/pop for the use with cvm-pwfile(8).
