Yes, that part (termination/restart handling) is somewhat ugly too since way too much happens in the signal handler (as someone - sorry, I forgot the name and I'm too lazy to look it up - (IMHO correctly) reported months ago. Alas, no patch attached there.). > * My overall perception: I vote for publishing that as olsrd-0.5.4. > > To answer Aarons question about tunneling and NAT.

The FunkFeuer net in Vienna is not the reason for my opinion to have such features in plugins. It is IMHO basically not in the scope of an IP routing daemon to work around administrative problems/situations - at least not in the core. Actually wouldn't it be a solution for FreiFunk-type networks if all NAT-ting hosts have (e.g., at least) unencrypted (but possibly authenticated) openvpn tunnels to all other NAT-ting hosts?
