</div>Ah ok, I see. It should of course write something into the EventLog.<br>

</div>What is the problem with the stop and start commands removing/adding the<br>
service from the registry? That is exactly what tinc 1.0.x does as well. You<br>
can stop/start the service without altering the registry from the service<br>
control panel, I believe.<br>
<br>
Tincctl init never starts or stops a daemon, so it will also not change an<br>
existing service entry. The tincctl start command (or invoking tincd directly)<br>
will also never overwrite an existing entry.<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br>Yes, more logging.<br><br>i will try the new version this week. The tinc service would start up and i could connect albeit with a great deal of latency. But when stopped, the service would get disabled and then deleted. i look forward to 1.1pre5 this week. <br>
