tinc - Aug 2013 - "Unauthorized request" messages after tinc update

Hello,

I have three clients that connect to one server. The server runs tinc
1.0.11 and one client runs tinc 1.0.19. I recently upgraded the two
other clients from tinc 1.0.11 to tinc 1.0.16.

Since the upgrade, the server now regularly logs messages of the form

Aug 26 12:17:42 ebox tinc.rath[4049]: Unauthorized request from hspc
(87.173.111.136 port 42836)

or

Aug 25 18:39:12 ebox tinc.rath[4049]: Unauthorized request from <unknown>
(80.137.207.208 port 57335)

(where hspc is the name of one of the clients).

However, the VPN still seems to work just fine, including connections to
the two upgraded clients.


Does anyone have an idea what this may mean, or how I can further debug it?


Thanks,

   -Nikolaus

Hm, that is strange. It would be nice to find out what the offending request
is. Could you raise the debug level to 4, so tinc will print the contents of
the request, and then send me the results?
