i thought i tested it both ways, but i probably did not. i am very pleased with the ssh examples of exporting and importing. Slick, but i only have one node on 1.1pre4. i had already unix2dos my host files, so not sure when i will test again. Will non-root users be able to execute tincctl.exe import? It is worth repeating http://www.tinc-vpn.org/documentation-1.1/tinc_4.html#How-to-configure * If you are the owner of bar yourself, and you have SSH access to that computer, you can also swap the host configuration files using the following commands: tincctl -n netname export | ssh bar.example.org tincctl -n netname import ssh bar.example.org tincctl -n netname export | tincctl -n netname import *
