MB> Hexren:

Wild guessing here:
Maybe the interface tun0 gets created when it is first called by
something refering to rc.conf. (It is in there isn't it ?). When ppp
the fires up it creates its own tun device, taking the next "free"
name which is tun1 as tun0 already exists and ppp can't know if it is
used by something else.
Try removing all references to tun0 from /etc/rc.conf

Keep in mind that this is only a guess.
Also look at what hides behind PID 212. You can see in th output you
provided that tun0 was created by that PID.
