1 Server, Multiple Client Setup

[Andrew Barlow]

So:

masterserver tinc.conf

Subnet = 192.168.2.1

masterserver tinc-up

#!/bin/sh
ifconfig $INTERFACE 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

client1 tinc.conf

Subnet = 192.168.2.2

client1 tinc-up

#!/bin/sh
ifconfig $INTERFACE 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0


Do I not need any subnet bits on the end? Such 192.168.2.1/*32* or
anything??? This is the part i'm most confused about.. But I will trust your
instruction and give those settings a whirl when I get in.

Thanks so much for this! A real life saver.

Planning on building some good apps on top of this setup - I'll let you know
how I get on with it when im back!


Cheers,

Andy Barlow
