Tinc 1.0.26 on Mac OS X

[Mike Purvis]

Hi Maxim,


Not much to it:

avahi-autoipd -D $INTERFACE

# ifconfig $INTERFACE 169.254.45.23 netmask 255.255.0.0 up

ip route add 172.20.0.0/16 dev $INTERFACE


Mac OS X doesn't  have "ip" by default, so I also installed the Homebrew
package "iproute2mac", which provides an emulation of "ip" on top of the
legacy ifconfig/route calls.

The commented-out ifconfig line was my attempt to replace avahi-autoipd with
a fixed IP, just for demonstration purposes. But I get the same result
using ifconfig to set the IP address.
