Hi, here's a small list of things that need to be done, and the version when it should be ready. smartcard support 1.1 LDAP support 1.1 public/private keys for authentication 1.1 don't store passphrases in files that are called after IP addresses 1.0 use names to identify

Sending your passphrase encrypted is all fine, but tinc sends the key with which it was encrypted about a second later... Anyone being able to intercept these two requests is authorized on the VPN.

Was running 1.0pre2 just fine, but had to move machines, so I figgured I'd give 1.0pre3 a try. After getting everything to build and figguring out the new config files, here's where I'm stuck. Start the server process (remote machine). Start the client process (local machine). In remote machine, the following shows up in syslog: tinc[2659]: Got SEGV signal In local machine, the

I fairly new to Linux, and I'm trying to set up Tinc on my Linux box. However I got stuck at the following point in the documentation: ".... The actual setup of the ethertap device is quite simple, just repeat after me: ifconfig tap_n_ hw ether fe:fd:00:00:00:00 ... ". Now, this is obviously not what I have to type to the command prompt, although, I'm not ashamed to say,

Hi 'tinc users' I'm new whit tinc and this mail-list. I like to build a vpn over the internet between two sites in Holland and Germany. Are there some experience whit the performance (turn-a-round en bandwidth) of a link. I want to use it for a 1,5Mb connection.

Hi, I installed tinc as described in the documentation and started the tincd. It runs, all config files seem ok, but when I do a netstat -an, it isn't listening nor connected (to another tincd on another host). Is there a configfile error or something else? Getting the right info wasn't easy either. The info on the homepage seems old, since the manpages say other configuration issue.

Hi, I created a VPN succesfully with two internet-connected hosts. But both hosts also have a LAN attached to them. One LAN has NW address 10.1.1.0/24 and the other 10.1.3.0/24. How should I set up firewall rules (on the tinc-connected hosts) and route definitions (on the other hosts of the LANs) to let for example 10.1.1.11 connect to 10.1.3.12? I have been playing around a bit with some things

Hi, Our VPN runs okay for some time, and every now and then one of the links (we have three hosts connected redundantly) just falls out with no reason. In the syslog I get several (strange?) messages: Feb 14 09:56:02 ophar tinc.pirnet[2816]: 212.187.121.188 port 655: Connection timed out Feb 14 09:56:02 ophar tinc.pirnet[2816]: Could not set up a meta connection to 212.187.121.188 Feb 14

Hi Tinc Mailing-Group, Having set up the kernel correctly, and got tinc running successfully, I am now trying to get two VPNs running at once. Hence I need to have two ethertap devices ( /dev/tap0 and /dev/tap1 ). The first tap0 device was created thus: mknod -m 600 /dev/tap0 c 36 16 chown 0.0 /dev/tap0 The second tap1 device was created too: mknod -m 600 /dev/tap1 c 36 17 chown 0.0 /dev/tap1

Hello everybody, I have just released tinc 1.0pre4. Changes: - New authentication protocol (better security, and faster too). - TCPonly and IndirectData are back (but not fully tested). - Documentation revised, it's really up to date with the released package now. - tincd -K now stores public/private keys in PEM format, but keys of 1.0pre3 can still be used. - Faster and more secure

Hello, I successfully use tinc for one year in a configuration with several subnets (about 5-7 subnets) and one main server. Sometimes tinc dies with the error message: Error while waiting for input: Bad file descriptor If it happens, this happens immediately, when one subnet has disconnected. tinc (on the main server) tries then to disconnect all currently connected subnets and while
