Please -install this first even before trying to run configure. If you don't -do this, configure will (hopefully) mention it to you. - -This version of tinc supports multiple virtual networks at once. To -use this feature, you may supply a netname via the -n or --net -options. The standard locations for the config files will then be -/etc/tinc//. - -In this version, MAC addresses are stripped off before encoding and -sending a packet. When the packet reaches its destination, the MAC -addresses are rebuilt again. They then have the form -FE:FD:aa:bb:cc:dd. aa, bb, cc and dd are taken from the destination -and source IP address. - -tincd regenerates its encryption key pairs. It does this on the first -activity after the keys have expired. This period is adjustable in the -configuration file, and the default time is 3600 seconds (one -hour). If you send a USR2 signal to the daemon, it'll regenerate -immediately.
