The tincd init.d script looks very strange: if [ ! `grep -c '^ *NETWORK:' /etc/conf.d/tinc.networks` > 0 ] then ... It does things I believe the author didn't really want it to do, like creating a file '0'.
Created attachment 116607 [details, diff] tincd-initd.patch Does what I believe the author meant to do. Also removes a useless use of cat and grep. http://partmaps.org/era/unix/award.html
btw.. the --kill=9 looks suspicious too. You should never shutdown a process with signal 9 since it never gives the process a chance to properly shutdown network connections or close files.
added - thanks. let me know if i broke the script.
Created attachment 128656 [details, diff] Patch to fix AWK errors Fixes the AWK errors. Just copied the line from start().
Could this be reopened/fixed, please? Also the "reload" line needs to be checked/fixed.
Phillipp, try my patch above.
