tinc 1.1pre. How to automatically start vpn tunnels? How to change the installation/config path to the same as tinc 1.0.x version from ubuntu repository?

[Håvard Rabbe]

I got it to work.
I  thought the tincd and tincctl was stored in /usr/sbin but I was wrong. They were installed in /usr/local/sbin instead.

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var

Then i got the tincd and tincctl placed in /usr/sbin


Regards,

Håvard Rabbe
