<div dir="ltr">Hello all,
<br>
<br>
<br>Thank you for tinc, that is an <b class=""><span class="">*</span>excellent<span class="">*</span></b> and useful package!
<br>
<br>Taking into account that both Red Hat and Debian (8.x) families now use
systemd, there is, IMHO, one small. but important correction to be done:
tinc's initialization.
<br>
<br>IMHO, we need:
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>1. A proper tinc.service file, included by default (prepackaged) in the
stock .deb and .rpm packages in Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, etc.
<br>
<br>By "proper" I mean it will start tinc at the correct time during
system's initialization, have proper permissions, etc.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>2. On Red Hat systems, an /etc/sysconfig/tinc file, as a standard place
to pass initialization parameters to the tincd daemon. For example, the
network name (-n) to be used.
<br>
<br>A similar configuration file should exist in Debian, but I'm less
familiar with the Debian initialization scheme.
<br>
<br>
<br>As a long time CentOS and Fedora user, I may confirm such a systemd
initialization mechanism is still not present in CentOS 7.x (EPEL) or
Fedora 22. And I suspect that the situation is no better in soon-to-be
Fedora 23 (already beta stage, final will be available in October).
