This is the version I'm using:
$ tar -tzf ddclient-3.4.5.tar.gz | more
ddclient-3.4.5/
ddclient-3.4.5/COPYRIGHT
ddclient-3.4.5/COPYING
ddclient-3.4.5/README.cisco
ddclient-3.4.5/README
ddclient-3.4.5/sample-etc_ddclient.conf
ddclient-3.4.5/sample-etc_rc.d_init.d_ddclient
ddclient-3.4.5/sample-etc_rc.d_init.d_ddclient.redhat
ddclient-3.4.5/sample-etc_dhcpc_dhcpcd-eth0.exe
ddclient-3.4.5/sample-etc_ppp_ip-up.local
ddclient-3.4.5/sample-etc_dhclient-enter-hooks
ddclient-3.4.5/sample-etc_cron.d_ddclient
ddclient-3.4.5/ddclient
Follow the instructions in the README to copy the sample files as appropiate.
In /etc/ddclient.conf you set values for your specific domain.
Some of the important ones (I run mine as a daemon, YMMV):
daemon=600 # check every 300 seconds
syslog=yes # log update msgs to syslog
use=if, if=ppp0 # via interfaces
login=your_id_here # default login
password=your_DYNDNS_passwd_here # default password
server=members.dyndns.org, \
protocol=dyndns2, \
your_sub_domain_here.dyndns.org
Then there is a ddclient init script which you need to move to (depending on
your distro) /etc/rc.d/init.d/ and symlink into rc3.d and|or rc5.d
(be sure to name the symlink S99ddclient or such).
Finally, start the service and watch syslog for messages.
HTH!
