tinc - Jan 2009 - Config problems with Tinc 1.0.9 under FC10

Hello All,

Anybody got similar problems with the configuration of tinc 1.0.9 under 
FC10?:

- the handling of the names of config files seems incorrect. When 
generating key-pairs the file name of the public-key gets extended with 
invisible characters. If I put an empty file with the correct name 
already there a new file gets created with an '?' appended.
- handling of config files written on windows machines doesnot seem to 
be handled correctly. (At least 1.0.8 had this problem with newlines) 
Now it might be that this was corrected in 1.0.9, but probably a new 
error has popped up as now, although all config files are there and have 
the correct names (copied to a different name and then back to its real 
name to get rid of gremlins), I get the error message that it cannot 
find the config files. One thing however is that the error message does 
not contain the full path name of the file as the first 3 characters 
look to be overwritten by the error message in front of it.
All config files have been rewritten by me from scratch on the FC10 
system in order not to have newlines in them.

Anybody got a clue and/or a fix?

Sorry not have exact output, but the system in question is not hooked up 
to email.

I cannot reproduce that behaviour. Can you use strace to get a log of the
system calls tincd performs? That might help debug this problem.

Hm, the exact output would help a lot. Maybe you can store it on a USB stick or
put it on pastebin.com?
