Registering Fedora Core 4 with DynDns

I confiogured by image to register with DynDns.com. This allows me to access my server with a domain name vs. IP. Here is what I did:

Create an account and dynamic host on http://www.dyndns.com:
1) The account is free, but will be deleted if inactive for a certain period.

From the image command prompt:
1) yum install inadyn
2) Edit /etc/inadyn.conf and add the info from the account you created at www.dyndns.com
3) The installation creates a service in /etc/init.d called inadyn.sh. Register the service to run on startup with "chkconfig inadyn on"
4) Persist and save your image so that this will be there next time.
