            Bug ID: 231236
           Summary: dns/ddclient: logging via syslog not possible
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest

                OS: Any
            Status: New

Running 12-CURRENT; ports and sources are (seemingly) up to date as /usr/ports
is up to date and OS is 12.0-ALPHA5 FreeBSD 12.0-ALPHA5 #30 r338531: Sat Sep  8
07:32:10 CEST 2018 amd64.

Having configured dns/ddclient with option "syslog=yes" in
/usr/local/etc/ddclient.conf (see below, working config) should provide syslog
backed logging. But it doesn't!

I've configured in /usr/local/etc/syslog.d/ddclient.conf the following line:

!ddclient
*.* /var/log/ddclient.log

That should be sufficient. I checked further whether syslogd works properly and
even deleagtin any(!) syslog output via 

*.* /var/log/everything.log

in /etc/syslog.conf should provide any "burp" from ddclient, if ever any goes
off. 

Testing with "logger -p daemon.info -t ddclient Something" works and get its
expected impact on /var/log/ddclient.log.

So, my conclusion is that something is broken with ddclient/perl.


My configuration file looks like that:

# Globale Variablendefinitionen
daemon=1800
syslog=yes
#facility=daemon
#priority=info
retry=yes
mail=root
mail-failure=root
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid


###
ssl=yes
ipv6=yes
protocol=dyndns2
use=if, if=tun0
server=server.to.contact
login=my at email
password='somePASSWDorTOKEN'
script=/update
wildcard=yes
all
