A solution is already available. You can remove these ghosts by running
this command on one of the nodes that is currently online:

tinc -n <netname> purge

You can achieve the same with tinc 1.0.x by running:

tincd -n <netname> -kWINCH

Thank you, Guus.

I didn't mention I had already tried `tinc purge` without success and so concluded that it was meant for another scope (well, not sure which). This is with (currently) the Debian package 1.1~pre9-1, maybe when I first tried it was a previous version, not sure. To be honest I think it succeeded in removing the ghost node, but it got re-added after a matter of seconds. Multiple tests done now on different nodes instead show that the ghost is not removed at all. Maybe I'm remembering wrong.

I had however missed the WINCH signal for 1.0.x so I'm going to try it. I've not yet tried it just in case you wish some stats before I proceed. It is maybe worth mentioning that all my nodes run chrooted with an unprivileged user. Almost all run also with --mlock option.

Thank you,
Gian Piero.
