From cc01b18bc6d0bfb12e6770fc0a007c278f355d9e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Guus Sliepen <guus@tinc-vpn.org>
Date: Sat, 27 May 2000 19:44:04 +0000
Subject: [PATCH] Made tinc persistent. If no outgoing connection can be
 established right after the start of the daemon, it won't quit anymore but
 will retry in 5 minutes. Also, 5 minutes is now the maximum time to wait for
 a retry.
