Hello, I'm trying to set up a vpn using tinc, so I installed tinc with the rpm version on my firewall as a listener. Setting up the tap device is no problem. The file /etc/tinc/tinc.conf looks like: TapDevice = /dev/tap0 MyVirtualIP = 192.168.2.1/24 Vpnmask = 255.255.255.0 When I start the script /etc/rc.d/init.d/tinc start it says something about missing /etc/tinc/nets.boot

I'm having a bit of a problem getting tinc up and running between a pair of RedHat (one 6.0, the other 6.1) boxes. It's installed and configured to the point where they can connect, but I'm not seeing any traffic passing between the two systems. System A looks like - tinc.conf: # Sample tinc configuration. # Insert your own ip numbers instead of the placeholders, # and be sure to use

Hello all, I've been playing with tinc to setup a wan between two offices of the company that I work for. I'm partially there but having a slight problem. tinc comes up between the 2 machines (both 2.2.14 debian woody machines), and I can ping from the vpn machine at office a, and get a response from office b. However, if I ping any other machine across the wan I can't get a

Installing the new tinc on a system (Mandrake 7.0) that uses bash2 as it shell turned up a problem with the redhat initialization script. Attached is a patch to make it functional for both bash and bash2. - Jamie -------------- next part -------------- diff -uNr tinc-1.0pre2.org/redhat/tinc tinc-1.0pre2/redhat/tinc --- tinc-1.0pre2.org/redhat/tinc Fri May 26 05:22:49 2000 +++

THis is the modified script that came with tinc 1.0pre2, and it now uses ifconfig in stead of ip-route. I changed the syntax to be correct (may already have been fixedin a newer version), it now checks whether or not there is a '/dev/tapX' or a '/dev/netlink/tapX' and it checks if there is a module or not. I also added the force_connect and the reload options. Force_connect send

Hello, >From the docs, it seems that tinc handles routing itself. Do users need to add any routing entries for tunnels at all? Here is sample scenario. There are six gateways A, B, C, D, E, and F connected using tinc. Each gateway is has a separate network attached to it and the connections are as follows: E<-->F ^ | v A <--> B <--> C <--> D ^ + |

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

When I try to install the tinc RPM I am missing [root@relay buytaert]# rpm -vih tinc-1.0pre2-1.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: libgmp.so.2 is needed by tinc-1.0pre2-1 [root@relay buytaert]# ls /usr/lib/libgmp.so.3 /usr/lib/libgmp.so.3 [root@relay buytaert]# rpm -qf /usr/lib/libgmp.so.3 gmp-3.1.1-3 This seems to be a too recent version. So I tried compiling it and got the following

hi, it looks like tinc-1.0-pre4 looks for configuration files in /usr/local/etc instead of /etc ! what is the best way to change that to /etc/ so that i can keep my configuration in /etc/tinc/netname/, as described in the tutorial? from what i can see, you have a sysconfdir="$prefix/etc" in configure.in. However, i can't just change prefix to empty string because there is also a

Idem for server B, where MyVirtualIP

Hi, I'm trying to set-up a VPN using Tinc 1.0pre3. When I start tincd I get the following in /var/log/messages.

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

I have an on-going problem with DigiBoard Xem boards causing interrupt storms (since 4.x days). The FreeBSD driver polls the board and doesn't have a functional interrupt handler (and Linux behaves in the same way). It seems that under some conditions, the board will assert its interrupt line and, since there's no interrupt handler to clear whatever triggered the interrupt, the IRQ is

Hi, I like Xen''s feature of autogenerating those values if they are not supplied in a config file, but for sake of persistency I want to inherit the once-generated values and reuse them after the first creation of a domU. I found it possible to query the values at runtime using xm list --long but I''m not sure I''m going the most elegant route with that, it would mean

I'm probably thinking way too hard on this... but I've already got a headache. I've setting up a VPN for a client between two sites. Someone had recommended vtun, so I gave it a try. I was VERY put off by the lack of decent documentation. I _think_ I got a VPN set up between the two sites, but it wasn't working right and I gave up because the documentation sucked. So, then I

I installed Tinc and started on two mashines. both connect and say everything is OK. But then when I try to ping through the VPN I get the following errors in syslog: on server: rtr-us tinc.vpn_net[911]: Metadata socket read error for BG_VPN (x.x.x.x - inet ip of client): No such process and on client ns tinc.vpn_net[301]: Incoming data socket error: Connection refused what does it mean as on my

Hi Tinc Mailing Group, I've got Tinc-1.0pre3 set up on two Redhat Linux 6.2 / kernel 2.2.18 servers. It compiles okay, it reads the configuration files okay, it makes a valid connection between the two tincd daemons. However, it does not route data from one subnet to the other subnet. I will describe my setup below, and if anyone can suggest why it is not working, can they please reply to put

Although we (the authors of tinc) have done our best to make tinc as secure as possible, an unfortunate combination of encryption and key exchange techniques has created a hole in at least all versions of tinc >= 0.3, including the current CVS version.
