tinc - Dec 2000 - tinc doesn't listen/connect

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.

plz help
TIA
Bart

Tinc should in any case open at least one listening TCP connection when it
runs. Check if it really runs. We can tell you more if you send us your
configuration files!

It clearly says on the homepage that the texinfo documentation is outdated,
and that you should refer to the manpages instead.
