 %description -n kronosnetd
  The kronosnet daemon is a bridge between kronosnet switching engine
  and kernel network tap devices, to create and administer a
  distributed LAN over multipoint-to-multipoint VPNs.
  The daemon does a poor attempt to provide a configure UI similar
  to other known network devices/tools (Cisco, quagga).
  Beside looking horrific, it allows runtime changes and
  reconfiguration of the kronosnet(s) without daemon reload
  or service disruption.
