[ TechnoCage | Caskey | tinydyn ]
In a nutshell, TinyDYN consists of a set of scripts that allow you to run your own dynamic dns services (similar to dyndns.org) on your own network. The services use strong authentication via GnuPG, and is designed to work with djbdns's tinydns for name service.
Google has a list of dynamic dns providers. You may have heard of DynDNS.org, the idea is the same. However, instead of being a user of dynamic dns, TinyDYN allows you to run the services so long as you are using Dan Bernstein's djbdns package. Internally, we use tinydyn to allow roving machines to have static names but dynamic IPs as they move between wired and wireless connections.
A little more detail can be found in the doc/README file in the distribution. Or you can read the ChangeLog.
Version 1.0 is not very user friendly at the moment but it does work. The documentation reads as bad as this page, though it should improve over the next week or two.
more coming soon ...
Each package has a GPG signature signed by the distributor, Caskey Dickson. You can get a copy of my key for verification here. For those without GPG, you have no way of knowing if you are running what I put together or not. Some people use MD5 sums on distributions but that only tells you if your transfer completed successfully.
You are welcome to contact me, the author via email, I receive quite a bit of email but try to reply to everything I get.
