Download the ezipupd.lrp package and copy the package to your Bering-uClibc diskette.

Boot a Bering-uClibc floppy image. Once the LEAF menu appears get access to the linux shell by (q)uitting the menu. Edit the lrpkg.cfg (pre Bering-uClibc-2.2.0) or leaf.cfg (Bering-uClibc-2.2.0 onwards) file and add ezipupd.lrp in the list of packages to be loaded at boot. Check the Bering-uClibc Installation Guide to learn how to do that.

You can edit the ez-ipupdate configuration file through the package configuration menu:

                        ez-ipupd configuration files

        1) configuration file
        2) startup script

  q) quit
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Selection:

The parameters allowed in the configuration file are the followings:

  address		usage: address=[ip address]
  cache-file		usage: cache-file=[cache file]
  cloak-title		usage: cloak-title=[title]
  daemon		usage: daemon=[command]
  execute		usage: execute=[shell command]
  debug			usage: debug
  foreground		usage: foreground
  pid-file		usage: pid-file=[file]
  host			usage: host=[host]
  interface		usage: interface=[interface]
  mx			usage: mx=[mail exchanger]
  max-interval		usage: max-interval=[number of seconds between updates]
  notify-email		usage: notify-email=[address to email if bad things happen]
  offline		usage: offline
  retrys		usage: retrys=[number of trys]
  server 		usage: server=[server name]
  service-type		usage: service-type=[service type]
  timeout		usage: timeout=[sec.millisec]
  resolv-period		usage: resolv-period=[time between failed resolve attempts]
  period		usage: period=[time between update attempts]
  url			usage: url=[url]
  user			usage: user=[user name][:password]
  run-as-user		usage: run-as-user=[user]
  run-as-euser		usage: run-as-euser=[user] (this is not secure)
  wildcard		usage: wildcard
  quiet			usage: quiet
  connection-type 	usage: connection-type=[connection type]
  request        	usage: request=[request uri]
  partner        	usage: partner=[easydns partner]

Here is how it could look like:

service-type=zoneedit
user=myname:mypassword
interface=eth0
host=mydomain.com
#[email protected]
# other options:
#address=<ip address>
#cache-file=/tmp/ez-ipup
#daemon
#debug
#foreground
#host=<host>
#interface=<interface>
#mx=<mail exchanger>
#retrys=<number of trys>
#run-as-user=<user>
#run-as-euser=<user>
#server=<server name>
#timeout=<sec.millisec>
#max-interval=<time in seconds>
#notify-email=<email address>
#period=<time between update attempts>
#url=<url>

The four most important entries for a typical LEAF Bering-uClibc installation will be explained below:

Please note: The options cache-file and daemon aren't needed. notify-email doesn't work today.

You can also run ez-ipupdate in interractive mode. The commands are:

 null ezip pgpow dhs dyndns dyndns-static dyndns-custom ods
  tzo easydns easydns-partner gnudip justlinux dyns hn zoneedit
  heipv6tb
                    usage: ez-ipupdate [options]

 Options are:
  -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

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

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

                                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.
