Coming from a Linux background, I am used to being
able to ifup / ifdown interfaces at will... BSD
soesn't seem to have these programs - and if I say
ifconfig tun0 down, for example, the interface still
shows up in ifconfig. Now when my vtun program tries
to allocate  new device, it can't since tun0 thru tun3
are already taken. How do i put these interfaces down?

Thanks,
ADG
