I had already experimented with systemd service files before, I just
added them to the 1.1 branch. You can see them here:

http://tinc-vpn.org/git/browse?p=tinc;a=tree;f=systemd;hb=refs/heads/1.1

There are two service files; tinc at .service
and tinc.service. The first is a template that allows you to enable and
start/stop individual instances of tinc, like in:

systemctl enable tinc at foo
systemctl start tinc at foo

This starts tincd -n foo. The second service file is itself a dummy, but
all template instances are slaved to this one (using PartOf), so you can
start/stop all tinc daemons in one go, like:

systemctl start tinc

Let me know if these work for you or not.
