I have a subdomain that I want to update with ddclient. I configured the ddclient to get the IP from dyndns but it's not updating the subdomain on namecheap. They said to use yourdomain.com as the login instead of my actual domain.
Has anyone been able to get namecheap DNS updated with ddclient?
I'm running CentOS 6.2 with ddclient 3.7.3.
When I run ddclient I get the following.
CONNECT: checkip.dyndns.org
CONNECTED: using HTTP
SENDING: GET / HTTP/1.0
SENDING: Host: checkip.dyndns.org
SENDING: User-Agent: ddclient/3.7.3
