The tunx devices are only created by 'user ppp'
You can not manually create tunx devices.

There is an kernel option to increase the number
of tunx devices that 'user ppp' can create.

Hi

ive got major problems creating extra tun interfaces
on freebsd 4.7 server

the command ifconfig tun1 create gives
the following error messages

ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE: Invalid argument

ifconfig -C doesnt give any cloneable interfaces
but there is a tun0 interface ronning

does anybody know how to make it so that tun
interfaces are cloneable?

thanks

theo purmer
