There are basically three solutions to this question.

1) Put a line in the startup script.
2) Start all nets that are in /etc/tinc.
3) Create a file /etc/tinc/nets (for example) containing only the
networks to be started.

The first option is acceptible, I think, but that is only because I
know the Debian side of the story.  Debian's policy documents don't
mention that it should not be done, so there. ;)  But I agree that
it's not The Optimal Way.

Option two is ugly, just because you don't know what is in /etc/tinc.

I say we go for option 3, and name the file /etc/tinc/nets.boot, so
that it's clear from the name what the file does.

Does the script as it is now work under redhat?
