## ChangeIP.com bash update script                             ##

## Written 3/18/09 by Tom Rinker, released to the Public Domain##

## This is a simple bash script to preform a dDNS update with  ##
## ChangeIP.com. It uses only bash and wget, and so should be  ##
## compatible with virtually any UNIX/Linux based system with  ##
## bash. It is intended to be executed as a cron job, and      ##
## will only execute an update of dDNS records when the IP     ##
## address changes. As ChangeIP.com dDNS records have a 5 min  ##
## Time-To-Live, it is basically pointless and wasteful to     ##
## execute it more often than every 5 minutes. This script     ##
## supports logging all activity, in 3 available log levels,   ##
## and supports simple management of log file size.            ##
#################################################################
## To use this script:                                         ##
## 1) set the variables in the script below                    ##
## 2) execute the script as a cron job                         ##
#################################################################
## WARNING: This script has two potential security holes.      ##
## First, the username and password are stored plaintext in    ##
## the script, so a system user who has read access to the     ##
## script could read them. This risk can be mitigated with     ##
## careful use of file permissions on the script.              ##
## Second, the username and password will show briefly to other##
## users of the system via ps, w, or top. This risk can be     ##
## mitigated by moving the username and password to .wgetrc    ##
## This level of security is acceptable for some installations ##
## including my own, but may be unacceptable for some users.   ##
