This directory contains examples of initialization scripts that can be
used in the remote systems, in order to automatically register them in
the dynahostnis and/or dynahostdns systems, every time that the remote
client boots and/or every time that its PPP link comes up.

These scripts depend on the use of either the lynx program or the wget
program to act a the http client, which must have SSL support.  Recent
versions of lynx (Sarge, Etch) have problems with the SSL support, for
use in batch mode, because by default they prompt the user in case the
SSL certificate is perceived as suspect.  This prompt prevents the use
of lynx in batch mode. Unfortunately there is no command-line argument
that allows one to change this.  In order to eliminate the prompt, one
must change the configuration file, /etc/lynx-cur/lynx.cfg, and change
the default configuration line

FORCE_SSL_PROMPT:PROMPT

to

FORCE_SSL_PROMPT:YES

These scripts must be customized for the intended residential use, and
installed either in /etc/init.d/ for use during system boot, or in the
PPP initialization directory, usually /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/, for use every
time the PPP link comes up. For use during system boot one must create
the appropriate symlinks in /etc/rc?.d/, in the usual way.

The "isp-dynahostnis-down.*" scripts are meant for use during a system
shutdown or in /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/.  They are not essential, since the
dynahostnis system will disable the entry of the host after a timeout,
if it goes off the network.
