Comment 3 Alec Leamas 2012-03-27 18:33:08 UTC 
As a temporary measure, one could also patch /etc/init.d/ddclient:

cache=/var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache
pid=/var/run/ddclient/ddclient.pid
pid_dir=/var/run/ddclient  ## patched (added)
RETVAL=0

start() {
        # Check that networking is up.
        [ ! -f /var/lock/subsys/network -a ! -f /var/lock/subsys/NetworkManager ] && exit 0

        echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
        [ -f $cache ] || touch $cache
        rm -rf $pid_dir  ##
        mkdir $pid_dir && chown ddclient:ddclient $pid_dir || exit $? ##
        chown ddclient:ddclient $cache && chmod 600 $cache || exit $?
        daemon --user=ddclient --pidfile=$pid $exec $DDCLIENT_OPTIONS
