tinc - Oct 2004 - reg. to check whether tinc is working

hello,

I want to create a vpn between 2 computers in my lab.
I installed tinc on both these machines
I gave the tincd command to execute tinc
I want to know how to send packets from 1 computer to other 
computer through vpn.
Is there any software or anything to check whether tunnel is 
established and to send messages or packets from 1 computer 
to other.
let me know about it and help me succeed in this work.

thanks,
mogan

Yes, it's called "ping".

A fairly easy way is to send a USR2 signal (kill -USR2 <pid>) to the
tincd process and read your syslog.
