bridging on debian stable endpoints.

[mooshii]

Hello all:

I am trying to bridge two ethernet segments via tinc. Both endpoints  
are debian stable machines.
Unfortunately the package available in stable is 1.0.3, which  
according to:
http://brouwer.uvt.nl/pipermail/tinc/2006-January/001497.html
does not work using the switch or hub modes.

I looked at installing the unstable package, but it has dependencies  
that are not available in stable, and I'd rather keep all the shared  
libraries as stable.

The only other solution I thought of is to recompile 1.0.4 with  
stable libraries. Is this possible, or does 1.0.4 need the newer/ 
added libraries?

Is there another way to vpn two ethernet segments on debian stable  
machines?


Thanks,
Christian.
