tinc devel - Jan 2005 - wishes

Hi,

some questions or wishes..

- i have some nodes with a dynamic ip, how does tinc handle this? are there
	keep alive pings?
- if i want to force a reconnect (for example if an ip changes), i tried
	kill -ALRM
	kill -HUP
	but there were no reconnects, yes the manpage tells it, but a reconnect
	would be nice.
- it is very important to me, that the interface does not go down. 
- when will tinc 2 released? :-)
- is there a bug-tracking system?


i summary, i think the idea how tinc works is great, thanks for developing
it.

Yes it pings.

Restarting the tinc daemon will reconnect :) You can also do this in
/etc/tinc/<netname>/:

mv hosts x;
tincd -n <netname> -kHUP;
mv x hosts;
tincd -n <netname> -kHUP;

But why do you want to reconnect if a connection is still working?

In that case, you can create a persistent tun/tap interface with
"tunctl" from the User Mode Linux package or with OpenVPN.

When it is ready.

If you use Debian you can use reportbug to file bugs against the tinc
package, otherwise you'll have to do with this mailing list.
