See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt for more information about the ioctl() you have to issue in order to register a tun network device (TUNSETIFF). The docs have a code example, too. Oh, and I think OpenVPN has inbuilt functionality to create or remove tun network devices (independent from OpenVPNs other functionality). I've not completely understood what your usage scenario was, but maybe a dummy network device is enough? -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
