Issues To Be Aware Of
- The DynDNS update protocol supports MX, BACKMX, WILDCARD and OFFLINE options, but inadyn does not support these. Entering these options in the inadyn.conf file will result in inadyn failing.
- inadyn currently only supports updates via http. Updates over https are not supported at this time.
- inadyn only supports updating hosts for one system type at a time. dyndns, statdns, and custom cannot be mixed within the same configuration file.
- Running inadyn from the command line is a security risk because your password will show up in the process table. Be careful if you run it on a machine with multiple users.
