Hi All
Going through the options tinc has . Can someone explain exactly what the
purpose is for -L option for the runtime command.
So does this mean that tinc will run in RAM and will not be saved in swap
(default) ?
===============
-L, --mlock
Lock tinc into main memory. This will prevent sensitive data like
shared private keys to be written to the system
swap files/partitions.
===============
