Hello, regarding the debian init.d script, a perl rewrite of the shell script by Lubomir. The debian-specific (?) start-stop-daemon is used. It uses its own pid-file handling instead of the one build into tinc. Bug or feature? "old" ifconfig and route commands are used instead of iproute commands.

Tinc's built-in feature works better (from experience). When things get messed up (which is normally the reason to start using those scripts), start-stop-daemon sometimes fails to kill the right daemon.> "old" ifconfig and route commands are used instead of iproute > commands. Bug or feature?Feature. Although I favour iproute for my own personal use, ifconfig is more portable, and we don't need any of the extra functionality iproute offers.
