-.TH TINC 5 "March 1999" "tinc version 0.2.16" "FSF"
-.SH NAME
-tincd.conf \- tinc daemon configuration
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-The files in the \fI/etc/tinc\fR directory contain runtime and
-security information for the \fBtinc\fR(8) daemon.
-.PP
-.SH "NETWORKS"
-It is perfectly ok for you to run more than one tinc daemon. However,
-in its default form, you will soon notice that you can't use two
-different configuration files without the \fI-c\fR option.
-
-We have thought of another way of dealing with this: network
-names. This means that you call \fBtincd\fR with the \fI-n\fR argument,
-which will assign a name to this daemon.
-
-The effect of this is that the daemon will set its configuration
-``root'' to \fI/etc/tinc/\fBnn\fI/\fR, where \fBnn\fR is your argument
-to the \fI-n\fR option. You'll notice that it appears in syslog as
-``tincd.\fBnn\fR''.
-
-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 \fI/etc/tinc/\fR,
-instead of \fI/etc/tinc/\fBnn\fI/\fR; the configuration file should be
-\fI/etc/tinc/tincd.conf\fR, and the passphrases are now expected to be
-in \fI/etc/tinc/passphrases/\fR.
-
-But it is highly recommended that you use this feature of tinc,
-because it will be so much clearer whom your daemon talks to. Hence,
-we will assume that you use it.
-.PP
-.SH "PASSPHRASES"
-You should use the \fBgenauth\fR(8) program to generate passphrases.
-with, it accepts a single parameter, which is the number of bits the
-passphrase should be. Its output should be stored in
-\fI/etc/tinc/\fBnn\fI/passphrases/local\fR \-\- where \fBnn\fR stands
-for the network (See under \fBNETWORKS\fR) above.
-
-Please see the manpage for \fBgenauth\fR to learn more about setting
-up an authentication scheme.
-.PP
-.SH "CONFIGURATION"
-The actual configuration of the daemon is done in the file
-\fI/etc/tinc/\fBnn\fI/tincd.conf\fR.
-
-This file consists of comments (lines started with a \fB#\fR) or
-assignments in the form of
-.PP
-.Vb 1
-\& \fIVariable \fB= \fIValue\fR.
-.Ve
-.PP
-The variable names are case insensitive, and any spaces, tabs,
-newlines and carriage returns are ignored. \fINote\fR: it is not
-required that you put in the \fB=\fR sign, but doing so improves
-readability. If you leave it out, remember to replace it with at least
-one space character.
-.PP
-.SH "VARIABLES"
-.PP
-Here are all valid variables, listed in alphabetical order:
-.TP
-\fBAllowConnect = \fB(\fIyes\fB|\fIno\fB)\fR
-If set to \fIyes\fR, anyone may try to connect to you. If you set this
-to no, no incoming connections will be accepted. This does not affect
-the outgoing connections.
-.TP
-\fBConnectPort = \fIport\fR
-Connect to the upstream host (given with the \fBConnectTo\fR
-directive) on port \fIport\fR. \fIport\fR may be given in decimal
-(default), octal (when preceded by a single zero) or hexadecimal
-(prefixed with \fB0x\fR). \fIport\fR is the port number for both the
-UDP and the TCP (meta) connections.
-.TP
-\fBConnectTo = \fB(\fIIP address\fB|\fIhostname\fB)\fR
-Specifies which host to connect to on startup. If the
-\fBConnectPort\fR variable is omitted, then tinc will try to connect
-to port 655.
-
-If you don't specify a host with \fBConnectTo\fR, tinc won't connect
-at all, and will instead just listen for incoming connections. Only
-the initiator of a tinc VPN should need this.
-.TP
-\fBKeyExpire = \fIs\fR
-The secret (and public) key expires after \fIs\fR seconds. The default
-is 3600 seconds, or one hour.
-
-If you make it shorter, a lot of time and bandwidth is spent
-negotiating over the new keys. If you make it longer, you make
-yourself more vulnerable to crackers, because they have more data to
-work with. The best value depends on the speed of the link, and the
-amount of data that goes over it.
-.TP
-\fBListenPort = \fIport\fR
-Listen on local port \fIport\fR. The computer connecting to this
-daemon should use this number as the argument for his
-\fBConnectPort\fR. Again, the default is 655.
-.TP
-\fBMyOwnVPNIP = \fInetwork address\fR[\fB/\fImaskbits\fR]
-The \fInetwork address\fR is the number that the daemon will propagate
-to other daemons on the network when it is identifying itself. Hence
-this will be the file name of the passphrase file that the other end
-expects to find the passphrase in.
-
-\fImaskbits\fR is the number of bits set to 1 in the netmask part.
-.TP
-\fBMyVirtualIP = \fInetwork address\fR[\fB/\fImaskbits\fR]
-This is an alias for \fBMyOwnVPNIP\fR.
-.TP
-\fBPassphrases = \fIdirectory\fR
-The directory where tinc will look for passphrases when someone tries
-to cennect. Please see the manpage for \fBgenauth\fR(8) for more
-information about passphrases as used by tinc.
-.TP
-\fBPingTimeout = \fInumber\fR
-The number of seconds of inactivity that tinc will wait before sending
-a probe to the other end. If that other end doesn't answer within that
-same amount of seconds, the connection is terminated, and the others
-will be notified of this.
-.TP
-\fBTapDevice = \fIdevice\fR
-The ethertap device to use. Note that you can only use one device per
-daemon. The info pages of the tinc package contain more information
-about configuring an ethertap device for linux.
-.PP
-.SH "FILES"
-.TP
-\fI/etc/tinc/\fR
-The top directory for configuration files.
-.TP
-\fI/etc/tinc/\fBnn\fI/tincd.conf\fR
-The default name of the configuration file for net
-\fBnn\fR.
-.TP
-\fI/etc/tinc/\fBnn\fI/passphrases/\fR
-Passphrases are kept in this directory. (See the section
-\fBPASSPHRASES\fR above).
-.PP
-.SH "SEE ALSO"
