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).
