    That makes no sense, unless the ddclient program accepts 'start' as valid
    parameter. I would be inclined to trace the execution of the
    /etc/init.d/ddclient script. Add:

    set -xv

    below the hash-bang line (the line that starts: #!/bin/sh)

    Then run the script, and paste the output back to the list.
