tinc and ipcop

[ralf.petry]

hy, 
sorry, if the format of the mail looks strange, i am using a 
webmail-interface... 
 
thanks for the info; here i will have to tell a lack of experience from my 
side... 
my ipcop-box doesn't show the tun or ethertap device (with modinfo tun or 
modinfo ethertap) and my "normal" server shows it. 
so, sorry for asking one more time: is it possible to install and run tinc 
on my server (i have found a document "running tinc from behind a masq 
firewall..."), although this server isn't the firewall itself and eth0 only 
has an adress from the local network-range? 
 
thanks again in advance... 
best regards, ralf.
