Yes? Let's rip > out nos-tun and support the other well maintained solution. .. and, if you've compiled in the gif interface, you can't actually open a raw IP socket to the IPIP protocol, since the gif interface has it. This isn't documented anywhere, and its bitten me more than once (the error message returned isn't exactly the most helpful..) That said, nos-tun is a nice and simple example of how one would use the tunnel interface in their own program. Perhaps we might want to move it to /usr/share/examples/ ?
