NetworkManager and tinc

[Andrew Cowie]

tinc has been really useful for us, and so the other day I blogged about
tinc as a way of saying thank-you,
http://blogs.operationaldynamics.com/andrew/software/research/using-tinc-vpn.html

Somewhat innocuously, I closed with reference to NetworkManager; having
used it with openvpn and been very impressed with the experience (not
the openvpn part, but the fact that GNOME's networking UI made
configuring and managing a connection *really* smooth). Tuns out the
lead developer of NetworkManager saw my post, and replied with one of
his own,
http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2011/05/24/networkmanager-0-9-pidgin-and-tinc/

Dan made some fascinating observations about what sort of things he
would need in order to be able to drive a tinc daemon from
NetworkManager. So I thought I should mention his post here in hopes it
might be useful input as you consider architecture and design for tinc
2.0.
