-+
-+The 'everydns' protocol is the protocol used by the free dynamic
-+DNS service offered by EveryDNS at www.everydns.net. So far it actually ignores the
-+value of the domain, it just updates all domains associated with the account
-+that belongs to the given credentials
-+
-+Configuration variables applicable to the 'everydns' protocol are:
-+  protocol=everydns            ## 
-+  server=dyn.everydns.net      ## defaults to members.dyndns.org
-+  login=service-login          ## login name and password  registered with the service
-+  password=service-password    ##
-+  domain.name                  ## the domain registered with the service.
-+
-+Example ${program}.conf file entries:
-+  ## single host update
-+  protocol=everydns,                                    \\
-+  login=my-everydns.net-login,                          \\
