# tinydyndns-conf(8)

sets up a pop-before-dyndns service

## NAME

tinydyndns-conf - sets up a pop-before-dyndns service

## SYNOPSIS

**tinydyndns-conf** *acct* *logacct* *dir* *myip* *mydomain*

## DESCRIPTION

**tinydyndns-conf** creates a service directory *dir* that runs [**tinydns**(8)](/tinydns/8.md), and a service directory *dir*/pop that runs a pop3 service and updates **tinydns**' database after a successful login.

You can run the services under [**svscan**(8)](/svscan/8.md) or [**runsvdir**(8)](/runsvdir/8.md) by creating symbolic links in the /service directory:

  ln -s *dir* /service/*dir*\
   ln -s *dir*/pop /service/*dir*-pop

The service will start within five seconds, and will be restarted upon reboot. You can use [**svc**(8)](/svc/8.md) to control the service.

**tinydyndns-conf** runs

tinydns-conf *acct* *logacct* *dir* *myip*

to set up a DNS publication service.

**tinydyndns-conf** modifies *dir*/root/Makefile to not run [**tinydns-data**(8)](/tinydns-data/8.md) upon normal request.

**tinydyndns-conf** arranges for [**tcpserver**(1)](/tcpserver/1.md) to listen on TCP port 110, and to start [**pop3front-auth**(8)](/pop3front-auth/8.md), [**cvm-pwfile**(8)](/cvm-pwfile/8.md), and after a successful login [**tinydyndns-update**(8)](/tinydyndns-update/8.md), and [**pop3front-maildir**(8)](/pop3front-maildir/8.md) upon connections.

**tinydyndns-conf** creates a *setpasswd* script and a default *passwd* database in *dir*/pop for the use with  [**cvm-pwfile**(8)](/cvm-pwfile/8.md).
