tinc - Mar 2003 - Tinc routes ?

Hi,

this is not a problem, but more explaination. I have four networks
connected via tinc - A, B, C and D. B, C and D connect to A. What is odd
to me is that B and C communicate directly (without going to A); while
all communication to D network goes via A. When I turned more verbose
logging on tinc, I show a line like this: "adding route to VPN_NAME vi
MASTER_VPN_NAME". Why does it happening ?

Regards
Kosta

Which version of tinc are you using and could you cut&paste the exact
line you see in your syslog? I can't remember tinc reporting such
messages...

Anyway, tinc will not route packets directly if you specify TCPonly or
IndirectData in one of the configuration files. It will also route
indirectly if it thinks there is no direct route because one host has
multiple connections to other tinc daemons but those connections have
different source addresses.
