<div dir="ltr">Hi Guus<div><br></div><div>Thank you for your response. I was using "name = site1" I added in a space in previous mail by accident.

I did try with Ctrl+D again and it works exactly as you mentioned and I am receiving the "Imported 3 host configuration files."</div><div> , i think I was just tired after scratching my head too long and was "fat fingering".

</span>After ending the input, tinc should say something like:<br>
<br>
Imported 3 host configuration files.<br>
<br>
Does this message appear and is the number correct? Note that tinc is<br>
quite strict in how the input should be formatted: each host block must<br>
start with "Name = ", with that exact capitalization and spacing. If it<br>
does not, it doesn't see it as the start of a new block, and if there is<br>
a valid block before it, that probably means everything will be appended<br>
to that previous block instead.<br>
<br>
I guess I should improve the parsing so it allows certain deviations :)<br>

<br>
</span>Ctrl-D is correct. If it still doesn't work, then do:<br>
<br>
cat >data<br>
<br>
And enter the import data like you would otherwise, end with Ctrl-D and<br>
send me that file, so I can have a look at it.<br>
