After ending the input, tinc should say something like:

Imported 3 host configuration files.

Does this message appear and is the number correct? Note that tinc is
quite strict in how the input should be formatted: each host block must
start with "Name = ", with that exact capitalization and spacing. If it
does not, it doesn't see it as the start of a new block, and if there is
a valid block before it, that probably means everything will be appended
to that previous block instead.

I guess I should improve the parsing so it allows certain deviations :)

Ctrl-D is correct. If it still doesn't work, then do:

cat >data

And enter the import data like you would otherwise, end with Ctrl-D and
send me that file, so I can have a look at it.
