If it doesn't, or if you require more than one tun interface, you'll need to rebuild your kernel with the following line in your kernel configuration file: pseudo-device tun N where N is the maximum number of PPP connections you wish to support. o Check your /dev directory for the tunnel device entries /dev/tunN, where `N' represents the number of the tun device, starting at zero. If they don't exist, you can create them by running "sh ./MAKEDEV tunN". This will create tun devices 0 through N. pseudo devices are long gone, and I believe the number of instances as well. MAKEDEV is also not needed when devfs is used, AFAICT. >How-To-Repeat: man ppp >Fix: Have a ppp guru read over the man page. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
