The effect of this is that the daemon will set its configuration
``root'' to /etc/tinc/nn/, where nn is your argument to the -n
-option. You'll notice that it appears in syslog as ``tincd.nn''.
+option. You'll notice that it appears in syslog as ``tinc.nn''.
However, it is not strictly necessary that you call tinc with the -n
option. In this case, the network name would just be empty, and it will
be used as such. tinc now looks for files in /etc/tinc/, instead of
-/etc/tinc/nn/; the configuration file should be /etc/tinc/tincd.conf,
+/etc/tinc/nn/; the configuration file should be /etc/tinc/tinc.conf,
and the passphrases are now expected to be in /etc/tinc/passphrases/.
But it is highly recommended that you use this feature of tinc, because
@section Configuration file
The actual configuration of the daemon is done in the file
-@file{/etc/tinc/nn/tincd.conf}.
+@file{/etc/tinc/nn/tinc.conf}.
This file consists of comments (lines started with a #) or assignments
in the form of
ifconfig eth0 10.1.54.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 10.1.255.255

@item -c, --config=FILE
Read configuration options from FILE. The default is
-@file{/etc/tinc/nn/tincd.conf}.

@item -d
Increase debug level. The higher it gets, the more gets
@item -k, --kill
Attempt to kill a running tincd and exit. A TERM signal (15) gets sent
-to the daemon that his its PID in /var/run/tincd.nn.pid.

Because it kills only one tincd, you should use -n here if you use it
normally.
