## 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. ##
