Hello,

this is the contents of /etc/ddclient:


/etc/ddclient# ls -alF
total 24
drwxr-----=C2=A0 2 ddclient ddclient=C2=A0 4096 Oct 11 20:54 ./
drwxr-xr-x 46 root=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0root=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 4096 Oct 11=
 20:47 ../
-rw-------=C2=A0 1 ddclient ddclient=C2=A0 =C2=A0181 Oct 12 07:35 ddclient=
.conf
-rw-------=C2=A0 1 ddclient ddclient 12031 Mar 10=C2=A0 2025 ddclient.conf=
.orig


And this is what ddclient tells me:


ddclient -daemon=3D0 -debug -verbose -noquiet
WARNING: [file /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf]> file should be owned only=20
by ddclient or not be
writable.


This answer does not make any sense to me, because ownership and=20
permissions are exactly set as the error message says they should be and=
=20
they are identical to the vanilla file that was created during=20
installation.

What is wrong there? Am I completely misinterpreting something?


Greetings,
Wolfgang
