No, it might turn out to be the right tree, but with some obstacles=20
around it: since "sudo" is not installed, I tried

su - ddclient -c "ddclient -daemon=3D0 -debug -verbose -noquiet"

and was told, the account is not available. So I changed the shell for=20
user ddclient from /sbin/nologin to /bin/bash. After that: no more=20
complaining about ownership, but also no output whatsoever! Just a quiet=
=20
cursor quietly entering a new line, that's all. And of course no action=20
is done either.

So, how to make ddclient work on Alpine? Right now I have no idea. :(
