When started, tincd will read +it's configuration file to determine what virtual subnet +it has to serve and to what other tinc daemons it should connect. +It will connect to the ethertap device and set up a socket for incomming +connections. +If that succeeds, it will detach from the controlling terminal and +continue in the background, accepting and setting up connections to other +tinc daemons that are part of the virtual private network. + +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-config\fR=\fIFILE\fR +Read configuration options from FILE. +.TP +\fB\-D\fR, \fB\-\-no\-detach\fR +Don't fork and detach. +.TP +\fB\-d\fR +Increase debug level. +.TP +\fB\-k\fR, \fB\-\-kill\fR +Attempt to kill a running tincd and exit. +.TP +\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-net\fR=\fINETNAME\fR +Connect to net NETNAME. +.TP +\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-timeout\fR=\fITIMEOUT\fR +Seconds to wait before giving a timeout. +.TP +\fB\-\-help\fR +Display this help and exit. +.TP +\fB\-\-version\fR +Output version information and exit. +.PP +.SH "SIGNALS" +.TP +\fBHUP\fR +Closes all connections, rereads the configuration file and restarts the daemon. +.TP +\fBINT\fR +Closes all connections and quits. +.TP +\fBUSR1\fR +Dumps the connection list to syslog. +.TP +\fBUSR2\fR +Invalidates the current cryptographic key and generates a new one. +.TP +\fBALRM\fR +Forces tincd to try to connect to an uplink immediately. Usually tincd attempts +to do this itself, but increases the time it waits between the attempts each time +it failed, and if tincd didn't succeed to connect to an uplink the first time after +it started, it defaults to the maximum time of 15 minutes. +.PP +.SH "DEBUG LEVELS" +The tinc daemon can send a lot of messages to the syslog. The more \fB\-d\fR options are +given to tincd, the more messages it will log. Each level inherits all messages of the +previous level: +.TP +\fIno debug options\fR +This will log a message indicating tincd has started along with a version number. +It will also any serious error. +.TP +\fB\-d\fR +This will log all connections that are made with other tinc daemons. +.TP +\fB\-d \-d\fR +This will log all requests that are exchanged with other tinc daemons. These include +authentication, key exchange and connection list updates. +.TP +\fB\-d \-d \-d\fR +This will log a copy of everything received on the meta socket. +.TP +\fB\-d \-d \-d \-d\fR +This will log all packets that are sent over the virtual private network. +.PP +.SH "FILES" +.TP +\fI/etc/tinc//tinc.conf\fR +The configuration file for tincd. +.TP +\fI/etc/tinc//passphrases/*\fR +The directory containing the secret passphrases +used to authenticate other tinc daemons. +.PP +.SH "BUGS" +Maintaining a connection list on each tinc daemon that can connect and disconnect at any +moment, and making sure that all connections satisfy the tree property isn't easy. Although +we have done a lot to make sure tinc is sturdy and foolproof, it might happen that +some connection lists get corrupted. +.PP +If you find any bugs, report them to tinc@nl.linux.org. +.PP +.SH "TODO" +A lot.
