Anyone used this? I can't seem to get the config file to accept my "hash" It
seems like no matter *what* I put in, it refuses to see that I've put in a
hash in the config file. :(
Installed via Yum and I've read the "readme" file at
http://perl.arix.com/afraid-dyndns-readme, but all it says is
"To configure, edit the /etc/afraid-dyndns.conf file. The AccountHash
field refers to the SHA value assigned to your afraid.org account.
To get it, log into afraid.org and visit:
http://freedns.afraid.org/api/
then click on either of your "ChoOsE YoUr WeApOn" links and take
the value of the "sha" parameter (it's a long string). The Notify
address (if present) will be sent e-mail whenever the DNS is
refreshed. CacheFile is the file name where the external IP address
will be cached."
So, when I go to that website, I get a big ol long string including my sub-
domain name, current IP, etc. I've tried the whole string, I've tried just the
"hash" part (at least what I can figure is the hash) but nothing works. I keep
getting the message "No AccountHash in configuration file - please see README
for instructions" whenever I try to run the app. :(
