Tinc 1.0.26 on Mac OS X

Fri Feb 26 16:41:30 CET 2016

Hi Maxim,

I'm having the same result, though I got some more output with debug level
5; it's definitely failing to create the specified tincdev0 network device.
Is there something I need to change on OS X to enable that? See:

$ sudo tincd -D -c /etc/tinc/robotvpn -d
