Hi!

Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question. I recently installed a Gentoo box after a long break from the OS.

I am trying to get the noip updater to start automatically when I boot my machine. I emerged the package and configured it correctly.
I then added noip to the default runlevel which seemed to be ok. But when I reboot it doesn't seem to load it.
Checking rc-status default shows all my other services (ssh, iptables and so on) is started but not noip.

Am I thinking wrong here? All I want is for my machine to have the noip updater loaded at boot so that in case I have a new IP from my ISP, the noip will update the dynamic dns to the new IP. Maybe I am trying to start the wrong service?

Again, sorry if this is a silly question. Looked around and could not find any answers.

Best regards

ozric

edit: never mind, looks like it was starting after all :oops:

Thanks for replying. As you can see below, it is listed in rc-update. However, if I type
Code:
/etc/init.d/noip start
it will start the service - rather than saying it is already started which is the result I get from all my other services started at boot (iptables, ssh etc).
