Hi Michael, > What is the autogenerated tinc-up script? What tool generates it?
The script is:
#!/bin/sh
echo 'Unconfigured tinc-up script, please edit '$0'!'
#ifconfig $INTERFACE <your vpn IP address> netmask <netmask of whole
VPN>
I don't know _exactly_ where it comes from, at least I don't find a
template in /usr. It is generated when running `tinc init`, might be
specific for tinc 1.1 (in experimental).
It is also broadly used in tinc's documentation:
grep -R ifconfig /usr/share/doc/tinc/
> Or just use iproute2 commands.
I don't know the specifics for inclusion of dependencies in Debian, but
wanted to bring some attention to the conflict between configuration
proposal and available tools. You have to change the script anyway, but
it is somewhat surprising if the proposed default does not work (and it
fails with an barely helpful error message "Script tinc-up exited with
non-zero status 127", if you don't know the usual exit codes by heart, a
user might be well surprised on what's going on behind the scenes.
Regards,
Jens
