NAME

       ez-ipupdate - dynamic DNS client

SYNOPSIS

       ez-ipupdate [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the ez-ipupdate dynamic DNS client.

OPTIONS

       ez-ipupdate follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').

       -a, --address <ip address>
	      string to send as your ip address

       -b, --cache-file <file>
	      file to use for caching the ipaddress

       -c, --config-file <file>
	      configuration  file,  almost  all  arguments can be given with: <name>[=<value>] to see a list of possible config commands try "echo
	      help | ez-ipupdate -c -"

       -d, --daemon
	      run as a daemon periodicly updating if necessary

       -e, --execute <command>
	      shell command to execute after a successful update

       -f, --foreground
	      when running as a daemon run in the foreground

       -F, --pidfile <file>
	      use <file> as a pid file

       -g, --request-uri <uri>
	      URI to send updates to

       -h, --host <host>
	      string to send as host parameter

       -i, --interface <iface>
	      which interface to use

       -L, --cloak_title <host>
	      some stupid thing for DHS only

       -m, --mx <mail exchange>
	      string to send as your mail exchange

       -M, --max-interval <# of sec> max time in between updates

       -N, --notify-email <email>
	      address to send mail to if bad things happen

       -o, --offline
	      set to off line mode

       -p, --resolv-period <sec>
	      period to check IP if it can't be resolved

       -P, --period <# of sec>
	      period to check IP in daemon mode (default: 1800 seconds)

       -q, --quiet
	      be quiet

       -r, --retrys <num>
	      number of trys (default: 1)

       -R, --run-as-user <user>
	      change to <user> for running, be ware that this can cause problems with handeling SIGHUP properly if that user can't read the config
	      file. also it can't write it's pid file to a root directory

       -Q, --run-as-euser <user>
	      change  to effective <user> for running, this is NOT secure but it does solve the problems with run-as-user and config files and pid
	      files.

       -s, --server <server[:port]>
	      the server to connect to

       -S, --service-type <server>
	      the type of service that you are using try one of: null ezip pgpow dhs dyndns dyndns-static dyndns-custom ods tzo  easydns  easydns-
	      partner gnudip justlinux dyns hn zoneedit heipv6tb

       -t, --timeout <sec.millisec>
	      the amount of time to wait on I/O

NAME

     dhisd -- Dynamic Host Information System server.

SYNOPSIS

     dhisd [-D] [-p port] [-d database] [-s services] [-l logfile] [-P pidfile]

DESCRIPTION

     DHIS is a client-server architecture meant to update databases for systems which are assigned a dynamic IP[v4] address.

     By the means of a DHIS client a host which is assigned a dynamic IP address (either from its ISP or from DHCP) is able to communicate with a
     DHIS server in order to advertise its newly acquired IP address.

     DHIS comprises a UDP based protocol to achieve this purpose.

     A DHIS client has a unique identification number and a set of authentication keys, runs in background, and attempts to reach its server.

     The DHIS server (permanently online) listens to UDP messages from its clients and authenticates these against its knowledge of keys. When
     authentication is successful the DHIS server updates one or more databases with the newly received IP address for the given client.

     The server then keeps sending, every period of time, check requests to each of its connected clients. These need to be acknowledged. If not
     the server will consider, on an individual basis, that the client has disconnected and will again update the databases to an offline state.

     Alternativelly the server may receive an OFFLINE_REQ packet from the client, in which case the DNS record is updated at once and the online
     state droped.

OPTIONS

     -D      Increase debug level.

     -p port
	     Specify port to listen on. If not specified, the default is port 58800.

     -d database
	     Use an alternative database file instead of /etc/dhis-server/dhis.db.

     -s services
	     Use an alternative database file instead of /etc/dhis-server/services.db.

     -l logfile
	     Use an alternative log file instead of /var/log/dhisd.log.

     -P pidfile
	     Use an alternative PID file instead of /var/run/dhisd.pid.

FILES

     /etc/dhis-server/dhis.db
	     DHIS client database.  Contains the credentials of clients.

     /etc/dhis-server/services.db
	     DHIS service database.  Contains a list of services and the location of the corresponding DHIS engine plugins.
