Hello folks! I have a little problem when I'm trying to set up a small VPN between two hosts. The problem is that when I try to sepcify an IP-adress in /etc/tinc/netname/hosts/hostfile using Adress = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx syslog says; Invalid variable name on line 2 while reading config file /etc/tinc/boppen/hosts/melc (Line 2 is the Adress = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx line, and melc is the host I'm trying to connect to - the IP adress is correct) I got this on both hosts, but I deleted the line on the listening host so the problem is only left on the host that should connect ;-) Anyone that knows what this could be? (Kernel=2.4.16, tincd=1.0pre4) A other small question I have is; is it possible to use the "old" Ethertap instead of the universal TUN/TAP by just compile it into the kernel and create the /dev-files? I can't recompile tincd and I get the "File descriptor in bad state"-error when trying to use the universal TUN/TAP. Thanks!

However, I'm curious, why can you compile a kernel but not tinc? -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <guus@sliepen.warande.net> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
