Basically the update client works like this: odsclient username password hostname [ipaddress] Note: The IP address is optional. If not specified, it uses the ip address your connecting with. To build: Just type make in the odsclient directory and all *should* work. Note that on some platforms you may need to redefine the DNSLIB value in the makefile. On some systems you may need to change this to -lbind. This client has been compile and work properly on: RedHat 6.2 and FreeBSD 4.3 Code by Aaron Sethman for use with ODS and dnsQ Modified ever so slightly by Jason DiCioccio
