How to install Tinc in a device with Android 2.3.7?

[Lance Fredrickson]

I have some examples on my website you can take a look at, one 
specifically taken from a working setup on my phone.   
lancethepants.com/files  -> Binaries -> Tinc.

The Tinc configuration for android is nearly identical as anything 
else.  It does have one more parameter called "ScriptsInterpreter" that 
you will need to have.  You should see this in my example.
And also the android developers web-site.
http://tinc_gui.poirsouille.org/

You're not very specific on the errors that came up, so can't really 
know what they are.  Concerning the private key, make sure your config 
is pointing to the right location of the private key, and that the 
private key has the right access permission. Otherwise you'll need to 
chmod the private key.

 From the Tinc manual:
'Warning: insecure file permissions for RSA private key file 
`rsa_key.priv'!'

      * The private key file is readable by users other than root. Use
        chmod to correct the file permissions.

    good luck!
