Order of operation become somehow important now. If your aim is to create a Polling Tentacle and you run a --trust before the -register-with then the installer will create a default Listening tentacle and won't remove it even you set it to Polling.
The result is a Tentacle that both listens and polls at the same time (according to the GUI client).
So the correct order is:

  1. configure reset-trust
  2. register-with
  3. configure "noListen" and "--trust"

The code you pasted above is what the installer shows you after you have manually clicked through the installer. However the above syntax contradicts the manual, which shows that to set a VALUE to a parameter, the equal sign should be used.
