Hello everybody,
I'm setting up my first virtual private network and I can't get thru
with this problem. Here's my current configs:
***/etc/tinc/vpn/tinc.conf***
Name = eci-cebu
ConnectTo = eci-sampaloc
Device = /dev/net/tun
PrivateKeyFile = /etc/tinc/vpn/rsa_key.priv
***
***/etc/tinc/vpn/tinc-up***
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig $INTERFACE hw ether fe:fd:0:0:0:0
ifconfig $INTERFACE 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 -arp
***
***/etc/tinc/vpn/hosts/eci-cebu***
Address = 123.123.123.1
Port = 655
Subnet = 10.10.10.0/24
-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
...
-----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
***
***/etc/tinc/vpn/hosts/eci-sampaloc***
Address = 123.123.123.2
Port = 655
Subnet = 10.10.10.0/24
-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
...
-----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
***
***/etc/modules.conf***
alias char-major-10-200 tun
***
And this what appears in my /var/log/messages:
Jan 14 19:22:24 cebucom1 tinc.vpn[6928]: tincd 1.0pre7 starting
Jan 14 19:22:24 cebucom1 tinc.vpn[6928]: /dev/net/tun is a Linux tun/tap device
Jan 14 19:22:24 cebucom1 /etc/hotplug/net.agent: invoke ifup vpn

Jan 14 19:22:25 cebucom1 tinc.vpn[6928]: Restarting in 900 seconds!
But the inteface of the vpn does exist even though I got this message.
vpn Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FD:00:00:00:00
inet addr:10.10.10.1 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0

But when I tried to ping the other site (10.10.10.2) with the same type of
configuration but its unreachable and exactly with the same error also.
Did I miss out anything? I've tried searching for the archive but I
didn't found any errors containing "Invalid name for myself". And
to make
it much more clearer here's what I'm trying to do.

Similar with "Example: tinc on a masquerading firewall" except that
I'm
using a DSL connection. Btw, I'm using Redhat 7.3. Any help would be
highly appreciated.
TIA,

So replace "eci-cebu" with "eci_cebu". -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <guus@sliepen.eu.org> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
