Whew! Just got through installing DNSUpdate. I had trouble with the installer. It started up, but didn't seem to do anything. By looking at the uninstall directions, I figured out how to install it manually though.

I untarred the Files.tar.gz in the installer:

sudo tar xzvf DNSUpdateInstaller.app/Contents/Resources/Files.tar.gz
That got me most of the way. But it seems that the location of the StartupItems folder has changed since the Public Beta, so I had to move it:
sudo mv /Library/StartupItems/DNSUpdate /System/Library/StartupItems
After that I just rebooted and saw DNSUpdate start up. Then I logged in and ran DynDNS in the /Applications/Utilities folder. I entered my info, and it worked like a charm.
