Hi Everyone, I have a routing situation where Tinc looks like it could come in extremely useful, but I have a query I hope someone can cast an eye on, as I'm unsure whether Tinc can help me here. I currently have a Quagga OSPF linux router which connects LAN A to LAN B over the quickest available of two routes (both routes at both ends connect to Quagga boxes to prevent collisions). One of

hi all. how does samba create its uids and gids from the windows domain? and what can i do to prevent it 'dropping' these mappings? i've set up windows 2003 sfu to allow samba to map to the uid stored in active directory (by using sfu nis), is this the safest way to ensure folder permissions remain constant or am i being unnecessarily scared? :-) thanks for any tips john

Hello! I use tincd to interconnect 3 LANs: A, B and C. So long, it works fine: everybody reaches everybody. But I want a different behavior: A and B should be allowed to talk, as should B and C. I tried to simply delete the host-files on the nodes that should not be allowed to talk to eachother: A has a hostfile from B B has a hostfile from A and C C has a hostfile from B But this is no

Hi, how does tinc decide where to route a packet? I know default weight is 10. Does tinc add all weights and choose the lowest? Will 3 hops with weight 10 prefered before one hop wih weight 50 ? ALBI...

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to set up a central home storage area with Samba for our PC and Mac clients. I thought that the most logical (ie. easy) way to do this would be to have Samba take care of the Windows connectivity and use NFS for the Macs. But for this to work I need to drag over the UIDs from Services For Unix which I have read is possible on Samba 3.0.20+ Joined Samba to the Win2k3

Hi, Guus I don’t quite understand what you describe below, to me, no matter tinc or any other router/PC get an IP packet, it will go to check with its route table, to match the destination IP against the route table for the next hop, if I put "ip route add default via <C’s VPN IP address> dev $INTERFACE", I thought tinc will match the packet’s destination IP to the “default”, and

Hello, I have multiple nodes interconnected with each other with tinc1.0.19 (debian stable) in routed mode. Some connections between nodes are backup links and have a high latency or not much bandwidth. I would like to setup a "logic balanced" routing, so my traffic should "go" with preference to links that are better than others. I saw that I can use the Weight on the

Hi, Lars Thanks for your suggestion, will give it a try later to see how it performs. But, yesterday, I did a below test: A ConnectTo B and C, B ConnectTo D, C ConnectTo D; All nodes turned "IndirectData" on in its host configuration, so the tunnel only follow metacomnection instead of direct connect. D announced default route by having the Subnet = 0.0.0.0/0 statement in its host

Dear Guys and Girls, I have two group of tinc nodes, say A and B. The network quality between A and B is unstable. I am wondering what algorithm tinc is using for delivering and relaying packets. How does one tinc node decide which the "next hop" is when its destination can not be reached directly or too slow to reach directly? The real situation is like this, nodes in group A and B

While working on SPTPS UDP relaying I realized that there is one issue I didn't account for, which is that the sending node only knows the PMTU to the first relay node. It doesn't know the PMTU of the entire relay path beyond the first hop, because the relay nodes don't provide their own PMTU information over the metaprotocol. Now, in the legacy protocol this is not really an issue,

Are you saying that REDIRECT hasn't been or that it has suddenly stopped working? My guess would be that it hasn't been working. Here's why: The REDIRECT target is in the NAT table because it is designed to redirect the port of packets destined for the interface they arrived on. If I understand right your situation is like this: (Users) -----> (eth2) <Bridge (192.168.0.3)>

Hi! This problem gave me quite a headache tonight... I more or less have this source directory: hop@krautesel:/var/tmp$ ls -laR from/ from/: total 12 drwxrwxr-x 3 hop hop 4096 Feb 8 03:34 . drwxrwxrwt 6 root root 4096 Feb 8 03:34 .. drwxrwxr-x 2 hop hop 4096 Feb 8 03:18 CVS -rw-rw-r-- 1 hop hop 0 Feb 8

With pleasure we announce the release of version 1.0.5. Here is a summary of the changes: * Lots of small fixes. * Broadcast packets no longer grow in size with each hop. This should fix switch mode (again). * Generic host-up and host-down scripts. * Optionally dump graph in graphviz format to a file or a script. * Support LZO 2.0 and later. This version of tinc is compatible with

Sure, let me reply all here for my finding. @Lars @Guus A’s tinc.conf: Name = bright AddressFamily = ipv4 ConnectTo = aly_hk A’s tinc-up: #!/bin/sh ifconfig $INTERFACE 10.0.0.110 netmask 255.255.255.0 A’s host config: Subnet = 10.0.0.110/32 (VPN address) Subnet = 192.168.31.0/24 (LAN address) IndirectData = yes (enabled for every tinc nodes) The node aly_hk (vpn address 10.0.0.3) connects with

Is there a way to have tinc change the interface according to whether it thinks it is successfully connected to a [external] next hop? We've got a problem where the tinc provided tun0 is sitting there (obviously not going anywhere because there's no uplink via eth0 or whatever anymore after a suspend/resume cycle & having moved locations) but various programs see that as "an

Hello everyone. First of all, i congratulate tinc and its community for such reliable tool it is. I am working on a community wireless project where we have an isolated mesh network that we want to link by VPN. In order to fulfill this requirement we setup a tinc VPN, with two "nodes", servera and serverb. Servera has ip 10.0.0.1/24 and serverb has 10.0.0.2/24, and a spare network

Hello, We are using tinc 1.0.24 with switch mode. Some questions regarding to the UDP connections on tinc. As far as I understand tinc is building meta connections with "ConnectTo", and "ADD_EDGE" packet. With the help of EDGE info two nodes who don't have direct meta connection are able to communicate through direct UDP connection. I understand we can dump the meta
